Cladosporium bantianum is a neurotropic, dematiaceous fungus that causes deep-seated phaeohyphomycosis in humans. Idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia is termed as severe unexplained HIV seronegative immunosuppression. We report a case of Cladosporium cerebellar abscess in a 40-year-old man with idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia.
