Abstract
Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality. Although the patients who received corticosteroids were at high risk of having CM, corticosteroids also have been used as an adjunct to antifungal drugs for treating people with CM in some situations (such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, cerebral cyptococcoma, et al.). Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the application of the corticosteroids in CM, aiming to help clinicians to reasonably use corticosteroids in patients with CM.
期刊介绍：
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
