DOI: 10.1080/14737159.2021.1985467
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Meningoencephalitis patients are often severely impaired and benefit from early etiological diagnosis though many cases remain without identified cause. Metagenomics as pathogen agnostic approach can result in additional etiological findings, however the exact diagnostic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciw739
Abstract: Background. Cryptococcus can cause meningoencephalitis (CM) among previously healthy non-HIV adults. Spinal arachnoiditis is under-recognized, since diagnosis is difficult with concomitant central nervous system (CNS) pathology. Methods. We describe 6 cases of spinal arachnoiditis among… read more here.
