Brandi Glanville reveals complex medical diagnoses and facial fungal ball

Reality television personality Brandi Glanville has shared a series of updates regarding a complex and ongoing health battle involving facial disfigurement. Following years of misdiagnosis, Glanville revealed a list of confirmed medical conditions, including highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis, and Mononucleosis.

During a recent ultrasound, a technician and radiologist reportedly observed “something alive” and “moving” within her face. Glanville stated that she has a “fungal ball” in her face that requires surgical removal. Her treatment plan is extensive, involving approximately 18 to 20 hours of daily IV infusions for the next four to six months, as well as upcoming surgeries to remove breast implants and old dental metals.

The health struggles have had significant personal and financial impacts. Glanville noted that the treatments have caused extreme weight loss and difficulty eating. She also reported that medical costs are reaching between $3,300 and $6,000 per month even with insurance, leading to concerns regarding her ability to manage the situation mentally and financially while unable to work.
