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.
