    Abstract:
    Results obtained in the treatment of cryptococcosis of the central nervous system with amphotericin-B, 5-fluorocytosine and miconazole are evaluated. The evaluation is based upon 18 cases. Emphasis is given to data pertinent to aspects proper to 7 of them, submitted to chronic immunosuppressive treatment due to previous kidney transplantation. Side effects varied from case to case in the patients submitted to amphotericin-B and 5-fluorocytosine treatment. The intrathecal and the intraventricular administration of amphotericin-B was followed by complications of several types. Miconazole was used in one case. Its intravenous and its intrathecal administration did not provoke remarkable side effects.
