Cryptococcal meningitis is a common infection in patients with compromised CD4 T cell function. Using a CD4 T cell activation tracking mouse the authors show the localisation and activation of CD4 T cells in the brain after cryptococcus infection and how these cells interact with MHCII expressing microglia which may increase pathologic brain inflammation.
