Abstract EN

Cryptococcus meningitis is a rare disease that can affect both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients.

A patient presenting with proximal muscle weakness was found to have cryptococcal meningitis.

Nerve conduction studies (NCV) confirmed the proximal weakness as acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

During treatment the patient developed drug-related acute renal failure.

He was then treated successfully with an alternative drug.

A discussion of cryptococcal.
