Idiopathic eosinophilia, characterized by unexplained peripheral blood eosinophilia after ruling out secondary causes, is an extremely rare condition. Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals, such as those with advanced AIDS or leukemia. In this report, we present a unique case of idiopathic eosinophilia concurrent with cryptococcal meningitis, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first such case described globally.
特发性嗜酸性粒细胞增多症是一种极为罕见的病症,其特征为在排除继发原因后出现不明原因的外周血嗜酸性粒细胞增多。隐球菌性脑膜炎是一种危及生命的机会性感染,主要影响免疫功能低下的个体,如晚期艾滋病患者或白血病患者。在本报告中,我们呈现了一例特发性嗜酸性粒细胞增多症并发隐球菌性脑膜炎的独特病例,据我们所知,这是全球首例此类病例的描述。
