Case report on a lethal meningo-encephalitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans in a 14-year-old girl without serious immunodeficiency inclusive HIV-infection. The detection of high quantities of cells of Cryptococcus neoformans (about 10,000/ml) and high levels of Cryptococcus antigen (up to 1:2048) in the cerebrospinal fluid are remarkable. The patient was treated with a triple combination of amphotericin B, flucytosine and fluconazole. After 18 days the cerebrospinal fluid was sterile. Nevertheless considerable lesions of the brain arised. The patient died from the Cryptococcus infection on day 74 of the antimycotic therapy. Cryptococcosis should be included into the differential diagnosis of the chronic lymphocytic pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid connected with symptoms of intracranial pressure and ocular symptoms.
