Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A rare case of bilateral multifocal choroiditis and optic neuropathy as the result of disseminated cryptococcal infection in a person with AIDS is described. A 30-year-old HIV-positive man presented with fever, headache, vomiting, and altered sensorium Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral multifocal choroiditis and optic neuropathy. Laboratory examination and imaging suggested a presumptive diagnosis of disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection. Therapeutic response confirmed the diagnosis. |
