AB Cryptococcal meningitis in a 35-year old male who had a history of
chronic alcoholism and sexual promiscuity, is presented here. The
patient presented twice, 6 weeks apart, with altered sensorium. On the
earlier occasion, CSF examination and CT head scan were entirely normal,
while on the second occasion CSF abnormalities were found which led to
the diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis. The patient eventually tested
positive for HIV by both the ELISA and Western Blot techniques.
Diagnostic problems and management difficulties in AIDS-related
cryptococcal meningitis are discussed.
