Abstract

Patients with coccidioidal meningitis require lifelong antifungal therapy. Cumulative toxicity and lack of antifungal efficacy require salvage therapy in the treatment of some patients. In a retrospective review of nine patients with coccidioidal meningitis treated with isavuconazole, successful therapy was seen in three patients and stable disease was confirmed in six patients. Isavuconazole may be a useful addition to the therapeutic choices currently available for coccidioidal meningitis.
