Single high-dose amphotericin B for cryptococcal meningitis: First Indian experience
Cryptococcus is a common organism causing central nervous system disease in people living with HIV (PLHIV). The treatment of this infection entails a costly regimen of Amphotericin. World Health Organization (WHO) recently recommended a cost-effective single high-dose regimen with liposomal amphotericin B for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis. We hereby present an Indian experience with this regimen in two patients managed at immunodeficiency centers of the Armed Forces.
