A novel cause of emergent hyperammonemia: Cryptococcal fungemia and meningitis

Among etiologies of hyperammonemic emergencies, infection must be considered in certain clinical contexts, particularly among immunocompromised individuals. Although Cryptococcus neoformans is known to be urease-producing, to our knowledge it has not previously been described as a cause of hyperammo...
