We reviewed the clinical manifestations, sequential changes in cryptococcal antigen titers in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the antifungal drug susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans in three patients with cryptococcal meningitis between 1996 and 2000. Cryptococcal antigen titers were measured using the latex agglutination method with Pastrex Cryptococcus (Fuji Mebio, Tokyo) and Serodirect Cryptococcus (Eiken Chemical, Tokyo). The underlying systemic diseases in the three patients were liver cirrhosis, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with miliary tuberculosis, and malignant thymoma associated with systemic lupus erythymatosus.
