Tuberculous meningitis is possibly complicated with multiple cerebral infarctions and basal meningitis, and the mortality and neurological prognosis is reportedly poor. This case suggested that clinicians should consider tuberculous meningitis as a differential diagnosis of patients with disturbed consciousness in an aging country Japan.

Candidemia is possibly complicated with a biofilm formation, and the mortality rate of biofilm-associated candidemia is reported very high. Herein, we described candida biofilm-related thrombophlebitis, which was successfully treated with micafungin. This case suggested that biofilm targeted therapy may be warranted in the presence of thrombus formation.
