Abstrak

The incidence of infections caused by Cryptococcus neoformans has increased significantly in recent years, especially in the settings of immune deficiency (HIV infection transplantation, etc.). Most often after inhalation of spores dissemination of yeast to the brain parenchyma occurs, leading to meningitis (meningo-encephalitis). Our clinical case, is a patient with cryptococcal meningitis after liver transplantation , who died despite the onset of antifungal therapy. This is further evidence of the severe prognosis of CNS cryptococcosis, especially in immunocompromised patients.
