warning

"CNS cryptococcosis results from infection of the central nervous system with the yeast-like fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, or less commonly, Cryptococcus gattii. It is the most common fungal infection and second most common opportunistic infection of the central nervous system."

Commas

suggestion

"Patients with cerebral cryptococcosis can present subtly and in a subacute fashion. Signs and symptoms may not be typical of pyogenic forms of meningitis/meningoencephalitis, but can include headache (most common symptom), seizures, altered mental state, focal neurological deficits, or visual loss due to raised intracranial pressure (causing papilloedema) ^12,16."

Line 6:184 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

There Is

suggestion

"There are three dominant CNS forms to the disease depending on which part of the brain is affected:"
