Antifungal activity in human cerebrospinal fluid and plasma after intravenous administration of Allium sativum.

L E Davis1, J K Shen, Y Cai.   

Abstract

Commercial Allium sativum (garlic) extract was given intravenously to two patients with cryptococcal meningitis and three patients with other types of meningitis. Plasma titers of anti-Cryptococcus neoformans activity rose twofold over preinfusion titers. Anti-C. neoformans activity was detected in four of five cerebrospinal fluid samples but not in pooled normal cerebrospinal fluid.
