The authors report the case of an African 34-year-old patient who was admitted to the intensive care unit for bacterial meningitis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae. A meningeal co-infection due to Cryptococcal neoformans was found the 3rd day in an HIV infection context. Cryptococcus neoformans detection in cerebrospinal fluid, using the India-ink stain, has a low sensibility which imposes the search of cryptococcal antigen and the culture of cerebrospinal fluid. These last two exams have a sensibility of at least 90%.
作者报告了一例34岁非洲患者的病例,该患者因肺炎链球菌引起的细菌性脑膜炎入住重症监护病房。在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染背景下,于第3天发现了新型隐球菌引起的脑膜合并感染。使用墨汁负染法在脑脊液中检测新型隐球菌,敏感性较低,因此需要检测隐球菌抗原并进行脑脊液培养。后两项检查的敏感性至少为90%。
