Dual Infective Pathology in Patients with Cryptococcal meningitis
Neurol 51:1213-1215, Silber,E.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Coinfection of the nervous system by two distinct nonviral organisms is uncommon and often undiagnosed. Medical teaching emphasizes that a single pathologic process should be sought; however, in the presence of severe immunocompromise this approach may not hold true. We describe seen HIV-1 seropositive patients with cryptococcal meningitis, three of whom had a proven nervous system infection with a second organism; concurrent tuberculous meningitis, a tuberculoma, and the first documented case of cryptococcal meningitis and neurosyphilis.
