Pulmonary Cryptococcosis

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Pulmonary cryptococcosis describes an invasive lung mycosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii complex. It is often a high-consequence disease in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent populations, and may be misdiagnosed as pulmonary malignancy, leading to a delay in therapy.

Pulmonary Cryptococcal Infection Complicating Gefitinib Therapy in a Patient With EGFR L858R-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT In patients with EGFR‐mutant lung adenocarcinoma receiving gefitinib or other EGFR‐TKIs, the development of new pulmonary nodules should not be hastily attributed to disease progression; secondary pulmonary cryptococcosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Increased mortality associated with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis: a single US cohort study

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, 2021
Background: Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for bacterial infections, but its role in cryptococcosis is unclear. The study aimed to determine whether uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c >7%) was an independent risk factor for mortality in ...
