RESUMEN
The clinical course of cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS shows some important differences from the features of the illness in non-AIDS patients. Complications such as raised intracranial pressure and visual impairment that are recognised in non-AIDS patients may be less frequent in those with AIDS. Persistent intracranial hypertension should be managed actively to prevent visual impairment. In AIDS patients; in whom ventriculo-peritoneal shunts carry additional risks; acetazolamide can be used successfully to lower the CSF pressure and prevent visual loss
