AbstractCryptococcosis has become an important infection in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Although Cryptococcus is mainly recognized by its ability to cause meningoencephalitis, it can infect almost any organ of the human body, with pulmonary infection being the second most common disease manifestation.

Cryptococcal disease is the most common life-threatening fungal infection in patients with AIDS. The most common manifestation, meningitis, has an indolent presentation that may lead to a delay in diagnosis. Although clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy with fluconazole in some patients, amphotericin B, with or without flucytosine, is the ...

In the past 2 decades, Cryptococcus has emerged in its clinical significance and as a model yeast for understanding molecular pathogenesis. C neoformans and C gattii are currently considered major primary and secondary pathogens in a wide array of hosts that are known to be immunocompromised or apparently immunocompetent.

Cryptococcus neoformans has risen to a worldwide highly recognizable major opportunistic pathogen with deadly consequences. It has become a model fungus to study a variety of paradigms in the host-fungus relationships. Genomic studies are advancing knowledge on its evolution and dissecting its virulence composite.

A 31-year-old woman with long-standing renal disease, treated with systemic steroids and azathioprine, developed progressive skin ulceration and subcutaneous nodules. A diagnosis of cryptococcosis was established after histological examination of a cutaneous lesion and confirmed by culture of the organism from the biopsy specimen.

We studied ocular cryptococcosis in a 59-year-old man who had received extensive chemotherapy for abdominal malignant lymphoma. Mucinous lesions containing abundant cryptococci, but no inflammatory cells, formed in the posterior choroid of the eye.

Cryptococcosis emphasizes the importance of the host-parasite interaction. C. neoformans has developed factors to invade the host but generally requires host immune dysfunction to establish infection. Cryptococcal infection has increased as our immunocompromised pool of patients enlarges.

Inhalation of Cryptococcus into the respiratory system is the main route of acquisition of human infection, yet pulmonary cryptococcosis goes mostly unrecognized by many clinicians. This delay in diagnosis, or misdiagnosis, of lung infections is due in part to frequently subtle clinical manifestations such as a subacute or chronic cough, a broad ...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a ubiquitous soil fungus that rarely causes pneumonia in normal hosts but is a common cause of opportunistic infection. Pulmonary disease is initiated by inhalation of the organism, and a spectrum of radiographic manifestations can be seen. The most common finding is a poorly marginated nodule or mass.

Cryptococcosis is a systemic fungal infection, caused by encapsulated yeast of the genus Cryptococcus, C neoformans and C gattii. These environmental microorganisms live in pigeon and other bird droppings, as well as in the fruit and bark of various trees.
