Abstract
A patient with cryptococcal meningitis refractory to amphotericin B was treated primarily with intraventricular miconazole. All parameters of disease improved and the patient was discharged after 4 mo. of therapy. In selected persons with cryptococcosis, it may be possible to successfully utilize intraventricular miconazole in the absence of concurrent i.v. medication.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
