Abstract

Cryptococcus neoformans is an infrequent cause of meningitis in children. We report two cases of HIV positive children of HIV non-reactive parents who were diagnosed as suffering from cryptococcal meningitis. Treatment with amphotericin B and flucytosine was instituted in both the children who recovered and are doing well.
