| Popis: |
Cryptococcosis is a rare fungal disease causes primarily by two opportunistic organisms. It is usually seen in the immunocompromised but rarely it can infect immunocompetent individuals. We present a case of disseminated cryptococcus manifesting as cryptococcal meningitis in a young immunocompetent individual that led to substantial nonobstructive hydrocephalus which required VP shunt placement. |
