Reversal of uniocular blindness with corticosteroids in a solid organ transplant recipient with cryptococcal meningitis and immune reconstitution syndrome (IRIS): A case report.
Journal de Mycologie Médicale 2023 May 14
Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening infection commonly seen in patients with advanced HIV infection and solid organ transplant recipients. We report a case of cryptococcal meningitis with immune reconstitution syndrome (IRIS) who presented to us with a headache and complete loss of vision in the left eye. He was managed with antifungals and a short course of steroids, and he regained vision completely. In the hospital, he developed complications including tacrolimus toxicity, fluconazole-induced QT prolongation, and flucytosine-induced thrombocytopenia. Our case demonstrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of complex cases like cryptococcal meningitis in solid organ transplant recipients.
