Reversal of uniocular blindness with corticosteroids in a solid organ transplant recipient with cryptococcal meningitis and immune reconstitution syndrome (IRIS): A case report
Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening infection commonly seen in patients with advanced HIV infection and solid organ transplant recipients. We report a case of cryptococcal meningitis with immune reconstitution syndrome (IRIS) who presented to us with a headache and complete loss of vision in the left eye. He was managed with antifungals and a short course of steroids, and he regained vision completely. In the hospital, he developed complications including tacrolimus toxicity, fluconazole-induced QT prolongation, and flucytosine-induced thrombocytopenia. Our case demonstrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of complex cases like cryptococcal meningitis in solid organ transplant recipients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
