Cryptococcal meningitis and cerebral vasculitis in a patient with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia: a case report

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (Waldmann’s disease) is a rare exudative enteropathy without precisely assessed infectious risk. We report the case of a 49-year-old male patient with meningitis and cerebral vasculitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans complicating Waldmann’s disease diagnosed 12 ye...

description Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (Waldmann’s disease) is a rare exudative enteropathy without precisely assessed infectious risk. We report the case of a 49-year-old male patient with meningitis and cerebral vasculitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans complicating Waldmann’s disease diagnosed 12 years ago. The treatment combined liposomal amphotericin B, 3 mg/kg daily plus flucytosine 25 mg/kg/6 h, both intravenously during 15 days, then fluconazole 800 mg daily during 8 weeks, and finally 200 mg daily indefinitely. Dexamethasone 0.4 mg/kg daily during the first week was gradually decreased over 2 months. The outcome was good, and the patient is still followed 3 years later without any recurrence.
