Neuromeningeal cryptococcosis in HIV-uninfected patient: a case report

Abstract

We report a 24-year-old female patient with a neurological deficit without fever or meningeal syndrome. HIV serology was negative and CD4 count was normal. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed the presence of Cryptococcus neoformans. Neuromeningeal cryptococcosis was suspected. The initial course was favourable with antifungal therapy.
