Abstract

- Cryptococcus meningitis is extraordinarily common in AIDS patients, with reported incidences varying between 1.9% and 11.0%. Cryptococcal meningitis in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected patients often results in relatively minor cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) changes, though in some cases, CSF profiles may be normal. We report here on the clinical manifestations of cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS patients without pleocytosis. As the number of patients with HIV infection increases in Korea, cryptococcal menin- gitis should be included in the differential diagnosis, if clinically warranted.
