Abstract
Meningeal infection with Candida remains rare. We report its occurrence in a healthy man following mastoid exploration for chronic suppurative middle ear disease. The infective agent proved to be C tropicalis, which has only been isolated from CSF in two previous cases of Candida meningitis.
