| Abstract: | A 26-year-old HIV-seropositive Caucasian man with cryptococcal meningitis developed permanent bilateral blindness shortly after starting highly active antiretroviral treatment. The blindness may have been a consequence of an immune reactivation inflammatory syndrome caused by this treatment. |
