Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis: a case report.
A 4-year-old Motswana boy suffered from cryptococcal meningitis; in addition to the signs of meningeal irritation, he had cortical blindness and seventh cranial nerve palsy. The child improved after treatment with amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine. It is suggested that this combination may be better than either drug used alone.
