case_images: Histopathological staining of brain in case 1(x200). (A, B) are detailed histological views at a magnification of 200x, derived from the Image panel, stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Blue arrows show spores, red arrows show mycelium.

case_images: Brain MRI suggested multiple round lesions with long T1 or mixed long T2 signals throughout the brain, surrounded by large patchy long T1 and long T2 signals of edema Brain MRI enhancement suggested multiple abnormal enhancement lesions throughout the brain, suggesting an infectious lesion ( Figures 1A, B ).
case_images: Enhanced T1-weighted brain MRI image in 3 children. (A, B) show the Brain imaging of Case 1; (C, D) show the Brain imaging of Case 2; (E, F) show the Brain imaging of Case 3.

case_images: Cryptococcus seen on India ink staining of the CSF. Cranial MRI showed large patchy areas of mixed long T1 and long T2 signals in the left basal ganglia area, left frontal temporal lobe, around the left lateral ventricle, right parieto-occipital lobe, right cerebellar hemisphere, and pontine, and left cerebral peduncle, with mixed diffusive restriction slightly high signals on DWI ( Figures 2E, F ). Chest CT showed patchy high-density shadows in the lower lobe of the left lung, considering inflammation; slight inflammation in the left lung; a small amount of effusion in the left thoracic cavity, left pleural thickening; changes in both kidneys.
