Abstract

This report describes a 46-year-old individual with normal immune status and a clinical course marked by headache and nausea–vomiting. He was diagnosed as having cryptococcal meningitis (CM) accompanying with cerebellitis. The interesting element was the observation of recurrent cerebellitis, never before reported in the literature for CM. He was successfully treated with antifungal and steroid therapy and discharged on day 330.
