Transpl Infect Dis 2011: 13: 419–423. All rights reserved Abstract: Phaeohyphomycosis is an increasingly recognized cause of brain abscess in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis in a 55‐year‐old male heart transplant recipient caused by Bipolaris spicifera . We review the literature regarding the pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of infections with dematiaceous fungi.
