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.
