A Fatal Case of Undiagnosed Candida Meningitis-Role of Computer-assisted Diagnosis
Neurologist 23:138-140, Finelli, P.F., 2018
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Diagnostic error is an increasing health care concern. An intravenous drug abuser with chronic meningitis died after a prolonged hospitalization from fungal meningitis diagnosed at autopsy. We examine the diagnostic pitfalls and consider how a computer-assisted diagnostic system may influence the outcome of an otherwise fatal condition.
