New cryptococcal meningitis

New cryptococcus neoformans meningitis is caused by infection of the meninges and / or brain parenchyma by new cryptococcus. Due to the atypical symptoms and irregular treatment, the misdiagnosis rate and mortality rate are still high. In recent years, with the widespread or inappropriate application of broad-spectrum antibiotics, hormones, and immunosuppressive drugs, and the increase in patients with immunodeficiency diseases and organ transplants, the incidence of this disease has also increased.
