Pharmacotherapy of cryptococcosis
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2009Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes central nervous system and pulmonary disease among immunocompromised patients. Recent studies highlight the high incidence of cryptococcosis among patients in certain resource-poor areas, where there is also a high incidence of AIDS.

Cryptococcosis is a systemic-opportunistic mycosis caused by two species of the encapsulated yeast-like organism, Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii, which cause infection in immunocompromised individuals and in immunologically normal hosts, respectively. Most susceptible to infection are patients with T-cell deficiencies.

Cryptococcus neoformans, which is found worldwide as a soil organism and thought to be transmitted by inhalation, most often causes disease in patients with abnormal cell-mediated immunity, notably patients with HIV infection and solid-organ transplant recipients, but the infection also occurs rarely in apparently immunocompetent ...

Cutaneous cryptococcosis occurs in 10 to 15% of patients with cryptococcosis. Because the cutaneous crytpococcosis may precede clinical signs of central nervous system disease, early recognition may lead to more successful outcomes. This article reviews the mycology, epidemiology, pathology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of this disease ...

Cryptococcosis is a common opportunistic infection in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, also occurring in other immunosuppressed patients and occasionally those with no apparent immunocompromise. The majority of cases are caused by the ubiquitous encapsulated yeast, Cryptococcus neoformans, whereas Cryptococcus GATTII accounts for a ...

Pleural infection by Cryptococcus neoformans is uncommon and when present typically occurs in the immunocompromised host. We report two renal transplant patients who developed pleural cryptococcosis.

Pulmonary cryptococcosis is the consequence of the inhalation of Cryptococcus neoformans, an encapsulated yeast, from various environmental sources. It is commonly accepted that the acquisition of the disease occurs early in life and that the disease is mostly related to a reactivation from a pulmonary site in immunocompromised hosts such as patients ...

Naturally occurring cryptococcosis in five cats, a dog and a koala is described. Involvement of the nasopharynx was documented in all patients, and nasopharyngeal mass lesions accounted for the major presenting complaints in four. Signs referable to nasopharyngeal disease included snoring, stertor, inspiratory dyspnoea and aerophagia.

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.

We reviewed the published reports of skeletal cryptococcosis and added three cases to the fifty-six in the literature. Eight of the patients in the reported cases probably did not have primary skeletal cryptococcosis. The potential toxicity of antifungal drugs in current use and the apparent effectiveness of surgical treatment for patients who only ...
