Treatment for cryptococcal infection is rarely necessary in those that have a healthy immune system.

Treatment for cryptococcal infection may include:

• Intravenous fluids
• Antifungal medication for cryptococcal infection:
• Amphotericin B
• Flucytosine
• Itraconazole
• Cryptococcal infection clinical trials

AIDS patients may require lifelong oral antifungal therapy, in order to prevent recurrences.
