Article Abstract
We present an unusual equine endometritis case associated with Cladophialophora bantiana in a 15-year-old mare. The mare displayed infertility and uterine fluid accumulation with numerous black, hairy granules. Microscopically, the fluid revealed numerous septate, dark fungal hyphae and conidia in chains. Culture yielded C. bantiana (CBS 138271); the species was confirmed by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. Treatment was unsuccessful. C. bantiana causes cerebral phaeohyphomycosis in humans, while animal cases are rare. Animal cases are reviewed.

Phaeohyphomycosis is a rare fungal infection that presents significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we document a case of a cerebellar abscess caused by Cladophialophora bantiana. A 77-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a previous history of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma gradually developed ataxia and was transferred to an emergency department.

Purpose: Cladophialophora bantiana is a rare cause of severe central nervous system phaeohyphomycosis.
Results: A 44-year-old woman from Northeastern Brazil with a history of scotomas, mental confusion, and impaired coordination presented Magnetic Resonance Imaging with vasogenic edema and nodular enhancement in the left occipital lobe. Brain biopsy showed neutrophilic exudate with eosinophils, macrophages, giant multinucleated cells, and septate hyphae with a brown-colored birefringent wall and acute angle branching.

Cladophialophora bantiana is a neurotropic phaeohyphomycotic fungal organism. The most common neural manifestation of C. bantiana infection is brain abscessation or systemic phaeohyphomycosis.

Cladophialophora bantiana has been identified as one of the most common causes of cerebral pheohyphomycosis. While intrafungal cerebral abscesses are historically known to be associated with immunocompromised patients, C. bantiana has a specific predilection for immunocompetent hosts.
