  • Title: Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome producing atypical presentations of cryptococcal meningitis: case report and a review of immune reconstitution-associated cryptococcal infections.
    Author: Broom J, Woods M, Allworth A.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2006; 38(3):219-21. PubMed ID: 16500787.
    Abstract:
    Atypical presentations of cryptococcal infection have been described as manifestations of immune reconstitution in HIV-infected patients following introduction of antiretroviral therapy. We describe a patient presenting with cryptococcal meningitis as an immune reconstitution reaction 10 weeks after initiation of anti-retroviral therapy. Subclinical CSF cryptococcal infection was demonstrated and the serum cryptococcal antigen was negative.
