    A case of cerebral cryptococcal granuloma was successfully diagnosed using histology and rDNA-PCR. Treatment with fluconazole resulted in a complete cure, highlighting its efficacy for this infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Cerebral cryptococcal granuloma is a rare but serious manifestation of Cryptococcus infection.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of a central nervous system fungal infection.
    • Histological examination and ribosomal DNA-polymerase chain reaction (rDNA-PCR) were employed for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of cerebral cryptococcal granuloma was confirmed through integrated histological and molecular methods.
    • The patient achieved a complete clinical recovery.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic utility of combining histological analysis with rDNA-PCR for cryptococcal infections.
