  • This case suggests that amphotericin B and flucytosine are potentially safe and effective for treating cryptococcal meningitis during the third trimester of pregnancy.
  • The findings support the possibility of successful pregnancy outcomes with appropriate antifungal therapy.
  • Further research may be warranted to confirm the safety and efficacy of these treatments in a larger cohort.
