We report a 28-year gentleman in the maintenance treatment phase of ALL developing cryptococcal meningitis. The diagnosis was made by positive India ink staining and detection of cryptola antigen by latex agglutination. The patient was successfully treated with amphotericin B. The rarity of this condition in ALL is briefly discussed.en_US
