Case Report
Cryptococcosis (Torulosis) of the Central Nervous System Treated with Amphotericin B During Pregnancy
Abstract
It is too early to predict the ultimate prognosis in this case and thus the efficacy of treatment. However, the case report is published since it presumably is the first reported instance of the use of amphotericin B during the course of pregnancy. This is of interest because of the azotemia which may accompany the use of this antibiotic, though whether from nephrotoxicity or from a biologic competition with nitrogenous substances is not settled.This content is limited to qualifying members.
