Repeat chest CT at three months (Figure 2) and six months (Figure 3) from hospitalization shows significant interval improvement of both infiltrate and effusion and outpatient Cryptococcus serum antigen titers showed a continual decrease from discharge (Figure 4).
Repeat chest CT at six months shows continued improvement in right lobe infiltrate.

Repeat chest CT at three months (Figure 2) and six months (Figure 3) from hospitalization shows significant interval improvement of both infiltrate and effusion and outpatient Cryptococcus serum antigen titers showed a continual decrease from discharge (Figure 4).
Cryptococcus antigen titers shown as dilutional ratios with higher numbers indicating more significant load. Titers can be seen decreasing over time indicating improvement in infection.
