Honestly there is conflicting information about which is more prevalent (toxo or crypto). From what I've found the sources that site toxoplasmosis as most common are older, and the ones reporting cryptococcal meningitis as more common are more recent. I suppose the incidence may have shifted since the 90s. I don't really know.
Anecdotally I see more crypto (private practice ID in southeast US).

Probably did shift then, it would fit the pattern of epidemiological changes taking a while to percolate to radiology and as it's far more likely we miss crypto on MRI than toxo we probably wouldn't notice a change in our reporting incidence to make a radiologist question that ranking. Thanks for taking the time to search and comment. Always appreciate learning from my clinical colleagues + now I can flex a new obscure fact to radiology trainees like a proper academic physician.
