Cryptococcal pleural effusion preceding cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS

E E Grum et al. Am J Med Sci. 1991 May.

Abstract

The authors report a case in which a small cryptococcal pleural effusion preceded the development of severe cryptococcal meningitis in an HIV-positive patient. The appearance of an isolated transient pleural effusion is a very unusual presentation for AIDS-related complications. The authors suggest that cryptococcal infection be considered in this setting.
