The most common neurological manifestation of Cryptococcus neoformans infection is meningitis. Other less common manifestations include parenchymal central nervous system (CNS) granulomatous disease, hydrocephalus and stroke. C. neoformans is often suspected in immunodepressed patients, but it can be easily overlooked in otherwise healthy patients. This paper provides a detailed clinical description of a patient without immunosupression who developed multiple simultaneous neurological manifestations after the infection with C. neoformans.
新型隐球菌感染最常见的神经学表现是脑膜炎。其他较不常见的表现包括实质性中枢神经系统(CNS)肉芽肿病、脑积水和中风。新型隐球菌感染常被怀疑发生于免疫抑制患者,但在其他方面健康的患者中也很容易被忽视。本文详细描述了一名无免疫抑制的患者,该患者在感染新型隐球菌后同时出现了多种神经学表现。
