Cryptococcal meningitis in African children

Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, Volume 17, No. 2, Year 1997

Three cases of cryptococcal meningitis in Malawian children aged 6 weeks, 3 years and 9 years are described. Only 23 cases of cryptococcal meningitis in children have been described previously, but in children from Europe and the USA. These are therefore the first cases of cryptococcosis to be described in African children.
