 AB    Cryptococcal meningitis in a 35-year old male who had a history of
       chronic alcoholism and sexual promiscuity, is presented here. The
       patient presented twice, 6 weeks apart, with altered sensorium. On the
       earlier occasion, CSF examination and CT head scan were entirely normal,
       while on the second occasion CSF abnormalities were found which led to
       the diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis. The patient eventually tested
       positive for HIV by both the ELISA and Western Blot techniques.
       Diagnostic problems and management difficulties in AIDS-related
       cryptococcal meningitis are discussed.
