RESUMEN
Intracranial fungal infections are unusual and typically described in immunocompromised hosts. The authors describe a rare case of an immunocompetent white man presenting with blindness after Aspergillus fumigatus infection of the ethmoidal air sinus with spread to the orbital apex and the frontal lobe. This was successfully treated by surgical drainage via a frontal craniotomy and long-term antifungal therapy with voriconazole.

RESUMEN
Multidisciplinary foot-care teams (MDFT) are recommended in the management of severe diabetic foot disease [1]. However, even though infection is often the dominant immediate risk, it is rare to have real time input from a microbiologist. We highlight the value of a microbiologist as a MDFT member.
