Compared with HIV-infected individuals, non-HIV/non-transplant CM patients have a higher CSF WBC count at the time of diagnosis, higher rates of AMS on presentation, and higher rates of 90-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. Further prospective research is needed to identify the hallmarks of CM in non-HIV/non-transplant patients to facilitate early identification and intervention.
