TL;DR: Elevated plasma cytokines in severe malaria are associated with systemic pathologic abnormalities, not cerebral involvement, and both the overall magnitude of the cytokine responses and the eventual imbalance between the pro- and antiinflammatory responses are important determinants of mortality.

TL;DR: A randomized, controlled trial of induction therapy for cryptococcal meningitis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection, finding that amphotericin B plus flucytosine, as compared with amphoteric in B alone, is associated with improved survival.

TL;DR: S. suis serotype 2 is the most frequent cause of bacterial meningitis in adults in southern Vietnam and is associated with substantial morbidity attributable to hearing loss.

TL;DR: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of dexamethasone in 435 patients over the age of 14 years who had suspected bacterial meningitis was conducted in this article.

TL;DR: The results confirm the importance of acidosis in the pathophysiology of severe adult malaria and suggest a multifactorial origin involving tissue hypoxia, liver dysfunction, and impaired renal handling of bicarbonate.
