Why can’t they inject the anti-fungal drugs beyond the blood brain barrier manually if it isn’t passing through from the blood?

This is terrifying and I genuinely hope they cure this for all of humanity’s sake.

The BBB is a part of capillary walls and so there really isn’t a good way to “manually” inject beyond it. That said, there are current trials ongoing to temporarily disrupt the BBB using high intensity focused ultrasound, allowing injected chemotherapy to cross and help treat brain cancer.

I can imagine that would cause brain damage. It's not like an anti-anything targets one thing and only that

Why answer with an "I imagine" when you don't know basic knowledge about the cns and you're wrong?
