A one-year longitudinal evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid and blood neurochemical markers in a patient with cryptococcal meningitis complicated by ischemic stroke.
Cryptococcal meningitis (CCM) is caused by the encapsulated basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans and is one of the most common central nervous system (CNS) infections in immunocompromised subjects [1 –4]. In this regard, autoimmune diseases, sarcoidosis, glucocorticoid treatment, solid-organ transplantation, hematologic malignancies, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure are well-known predisposing factors for CCM in HIV-negative patients [1–4]. Sources of C. neoformans are excrement of b irds such as pigeons, contaminated soil, and the bark of several tree species [1].

South Africa: UCT Leads in Training Aspiring African Neurologists
[UCT] Training a pool of neurologists in sub-Saharan Africa is an important step towards Africanising the vital discipline of neuroscience on the continent. In addition, it will help to facilitate inter- and cross-disciplinary research and accelerate treatment options for common neurological disorders like stroke and epilepsy, and neurological infections such as tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and HIV-related dementia.

Epidemiology, investigation, management, and outcome of headache in emergency departments (HEAD study)-A multinational observational study
CONCLUSION: Diagnosis and management of headache in the ED is challenging. A small group of patients have a serious secondary cause for their symptoms. There is wide variation in the use of neuroimaging and treatments. Further work is needed to understand the variation in practice and to better inform international guidelines regarding emergent neuroimaging and treatment.PMID:34726783 | DOI:10.1111/head.14230
