A 24-year-old woman was found to have cryptococcal meningitis and Cushing's syndrome due to an adrenal adenoma. Her meningitis was successfully arrested with fluorouracil. Treatment with metyrapone decreased her cortisol production and produced clinical remission of Cushing's syndrome. On admission her peripheral T lymphocytes were few and hyporeactive. When the overproduction of cortisol ceased the numbers of T lymphocytes and their reactivity returned to normal and she developed in-vitro lymphocyte responsiveness to the cryptococci.
一名24岁女性被发现患有新型隐球菌性脑膜炎和由肾上腺腺瘤引起的库欣综合征。她的脑膜炎通过氟尿嘧啶成功得到控制。甲吡酮治疗降低了她的皮质醇分泌,并使库欣综合征临床缓解。入院时她的外周血T淋巴细胞数量少且反应性低。当皮质醇分泌过多停止后,T淋巴细胞数量及其反应性恢复正常,并且她在体外对新型隐球菌产生了淋巴细胞反应性。
