question 80

Multiple Choice

What underlying infection should a physician immediately suspect when confronted with a patient with confirmed cryptococcal meningoencephalitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, and why?

• A) Influenza infection. Influenza virus and C. neoformans are frequently transmitted together in respiratory droplets.

• D) Syphilis. This sexually-transmitted illness depletes CD4+ helper T cells that are necessary to directly attack the fungal infection of C. neoformans.
