Cure Despite Cryptococcemia

Norbert J. Roberts, Jr, MD; R. Gordon Douglas, Jr, MD

Arch Neurol. 1978;35(3):179-180.

Abstract
• Cure of cryptococcal meningitis accompanied by cryptococcemia was achieved with amphotericin B therapy. Cryptococcal meningitis is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, especially when accompanied by evidence of extraneural infection. Experience with the patient reported suggests that associated cryptococcemia is not invariably associated with treatment failure.
