Treatment of C. neoformans CNS infections is very challenging. There is increasing evidence suggesting that paradoxical responses to therapy are mediated by patients’ own immune response to the fungus supported by beneficial effects of anti-inflammatory therapy. However, the use of broad anti- inflammatory (steroid) therapy is controversial because cryptococcosis is p... |
