A 61-year-old male with subacute headache was found to have cryptococcal meningitis despite a negative BioFire FilmArray meningitis/encephalitis panel. This case underscores the importance of liberal cryptococcal antigen testing, and that a negative FilmArray panel is inadequate in excluding cryptococcal meningitis, particularly in a HIV-negative host.
一位 61 岁男性亚急性头痛，尽管生物梅里埃 FilmArray 脑膜炎/脑炎 panel 检测结果为阴性，仍被诊断为隐球菌性脑膜炎。这个病例强调了进行广泛的隐球菌抗原检测的重要性，以及 FilmArray 检测结果为阴性并不能充分排除隐球菌性脑膜炎，尤其是在 HIV 阴性宿主中。
