- W2021675265 abstract "Abstract Disseminated C ryptococcus disease occurs in patients with defective T‐cell immunity. Cryptococcal meningitis following autologous stem cell transplant ( SCT ) has been described previously in only 1 patient, 4 months post SCT and while off antifungal prophylaxis. We present a unique case of C ryptococcus meningitis pre‐engraftment after autologous SCT , while the patient was receiving fluconazole prophylaxis. A 41‐year‐old man with non‐ H odgkin's lymphoma underwent autologous SCT . Post‐transplant prophylaxis consisted of fluconazole 400 mg daily, levofloxacin 500 mg daily, and acyclovir 800 mg twice daily. On day 9 post transplant, he developed fever and headache. Peripheral white blood cell count ( WBC ) was 700/μL. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed lesions consistent with meningoencephalitis. Cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) analysis revealed a WBC of 39 with 77% lymphocytes, protein 63, glucose 38, CSF pressure 20.5 cm H 2 O , and a positive cryptococcal antigen. CSF culture confirmed C ryptococcus neoformans . The patient was treated with liposomal amphotericin B 5 mg/kg intravenously daily, and flucytosine 37.5 mg/kg orally every 6 h. He was switched to fluconazole 400 mg daily after 3 weeks of amphotericin therapy, with sterilization of the CSF with negative CSF C ryptococcus antigen and negative CSF culture. Review of the literature revealed 9 cases of cryptococcal disease in recipients of SCT . Median time of onset was 64 days post transplant. Only 3 meningitis cases were described; 2 of them after allogeneic SCT . Fungal prophylaxis with fluconazole post autologous SCT is recommended at least through engraftment, and for up to 100 days in high‐risk patients. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose and treat opportunistic infections, especially in the face of immunosuppression and despite adequate prophylaxis. Infection is usually fatal without treatment, thus prompt diagnosis and therapy might be life saving." @default.
