Cryptococcal pleural effusion preceding cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS.

E E Grum1, R Schwab, M L Margolis.   

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.
