Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii meningitis in an HIV-positive patient: first observation in the United Kingdom.
J Infect. 2004 Oct; 49(3):253-5.JI

Abstract

We present a case of meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii in an HIV-infected man recently returned from South Africa. We believe this is the first imported case of meningitis secondary to Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii in an HIV-infected patient to be reported in the UK.
