Thank you.
Cryptococcal meningitis
Subject: Cryptococcal meningitis
I cannot make out the last word of this sentence. The doctor has an accent and there is a lot of noise in the background. CSF showed a cryptococcal type of cough, 1:512. It sounds like he says cough but that does not make sense. Thanks.

There is Epivir, but this is a drug used for AIDS or HIV

Don't know what diagnoses this patient has, most of the drugs that end in "ivir" are AIDS/HIV drug related medications. If the patient does not have this, that will eliminate a lot of looking.

the rule is ....

If the "times" comes before the number use the x (no space). If the "times" comes after use the word.
don't know if there is a rule but....
Subject: don't know if there is a rule but....
I think if you would substitute "bilateral" (mentally) and say "both" you might have a better idea how to say it. Like would it sound better iff you said "both hand" or "both hands." To me bilateral hands sounds better. But again, I don't know if there is actually a rule. I looked for an answer in "style Guide for Medical Transcription" (Tessier and Pitman) and couldn't find an answer.
I think if you wrote what the doctor said ....you can't go wrong there either. Good luck!.
