Magnetic resonance imaging study of cryptococcal neuroradiological lesions in HIV-negative cryptococcal meningitis

In conclusion, the main pattern of cryptococcosis-related lesions on MR scanning differ between non-HIV- and HIV-positive patients with CM. The presence of CM-related lesions was significantly associated with predictors for poor outcome. Neuroimaging on MR scanning is a useful tool to evaluate the initial severity and prognosis of CM without HIV infection.
