  • Title: Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis presenting transient focal cerebral symptoms.
    Author: Nowack WJ, Bradsher RW.
    Journal: South Med J; 1989 Mar; 82(3):395-6. PubMed ID: 2922633.
    Abstract:
    Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CM) is a fatal disease if untreated. We have presented an unusual case of CM clinically diagnosed as transient ischemic attacks. Therapy with amphotericin B and flucytosine cured the infection and the patient had no further episodes of transient focal cerebral dysfunction. In patients with transient focal cerebral symptoms, study of the cerebrospinal fluid may prove helpful.
