Resumen

Cryptococcal meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges due to Cryptococcus fungal infection which commonly invades people living with immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) with impaired immunity. The disease has a high mortality rate and is frequently misdiagnosed in the early stages due to vague symptoms. This case report aimed to provide information regarding the diagnosis and management of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and tuberculosis. We reported a case of a 34-year-old woman that complained of headache and fever for the last month. There were also oral white patches in the last two weeks. The patient was diagnosed with lung tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in February 2021, but the TB was just being treated in the last two months, and HIV in the last two weeks.
