Cryptococcal Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Male: Case Report
Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening condition caused by an invasive, opportunistic, encapsulated saprophytic fungus, either Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii most often in immunocompromised patients, especially those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Overwhelming invasive infection of immunocompetent patients is rather uncommon, and diagnosis is often challenging due to a more indolent course. We present a case of cryptococcal meningitis (CM) in a 72-year-old immunocompetent male following a recent motor vehicle accident.
