Abstract
Although mucocutaneous candidiasis is a common occurrence in HIV-infec ted patients, candidal meningitis is uncommon. We report 3 cases of ca ndidal meningitis in HIV-positive patients, all intravenous drug abuse rs, and we discuss the clinical course and outcome, the treatment with fluconazole and possible prophylaxis.
