AIDS‐associated Cryptococcus neoformans and Penicillium marneffei coinfection: a therapeutic dilemma in resource‐limited settings.
Abstract
AIDS‐associated Cryptococcus neoformans and Penicillium marneffei coinfection
has not been adequately studied and poses unique therapeutic challenges in resource‐limited
settings. Itraconazole poorly penetrates the central nervous system, whereas fluconazole
has poor activity against P. marneffei. We prospectively report management of 1 patient
and retrospectively review 7 coinfection cases from Vietnam.
