Candida spp. meningitis is still a rare clinical situation, although it is becoming more frequent. Literature references to it and therapeutic options are scarce. We present a case of a young male, HIV-positive drug addict, with Candida albicans meningitis which was treated with oral fluconazole, having a good outcome.
