We report a case of fungal meningoencephalitis with steroid-responsive diffuse cerebral white mat-ter lesions.

A 49-year-old male developed auditory hallucina-tion, confusion and fever, on April, 1994. He was diagnosed as having cryptococcal meningoence-phalitis based on the detection of cryptococcal antigens in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Intra-venous administration of fluconazole resulted in improvement of his neurologic symptoms and CSF findings. For the next seven months, he was treated with oral fluconazole and the neurological status was stable.
