ABSTRACT
A 49-year-old diabetic male had been unsuccessfully treated with antitubercular therapy for a granulomatous lesion of the left lung detected elsewhere nine months ago. He presented with evidence of meningitis which was found to be due to infection with Cryptococcus neoformans. Both the meningeal and lung lesions resolved after 6 weeks of combined therapy with amphotericin B and flucytosine. The report of the case along with a brief review of the relevant literature is presented.
