We report a case of C. albidus meningitis in a young T-cell ALL patient, initially suspected to have HSV encephalitis. CSF analysis confirmed C. albidus, leading to antifungal therapy with liposomal amphotericin B and flucytosine, resulting in clinical improvement. Elevated procalcitonin levels suggest a potential role in fungal infections. This case underscores the importance of early identification and appropriate treatment in C. albidus meningitis. - Received: - Version Posted:
