Isolated pulmonary cryptococcosis in an immunocompetent boy
Pulmonary cryptococcosis is rare in immunocompetent subjects. Here, we present the case of a 16-year-old boy who was referred to our pediatric department for the management of multiple consolidations detected on chest radiography, which was routinely performed when the patient was being evaluated for an ankle fracture. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed, and the definitive diagnosis wa...

Initial X-ray and subsequent computerised tomography of the chest shows a bilateral miliary pattern of pulmonary infiltration highly suggestive of disseminated tuberculosis. However subsequent results were consistent with disseminated cryptococcosis, including pulmonary involvement, with cryptococcus identified on ...
متن کاملFurther Studies on Immunity in Experimental Cryptococcosis
Following infection with 10(3) cells of Cryptococcus neoformans, progressive multiplication occurred in all tissues for 7 to 28 days. Thereafter, most mice gained control of the infection so that 3 to 6 months after inoculation, tissues were usually sterile or contained only small numbers of cryptococci. Survivors challenged 1 to 4 months after infection with 10(3) cells lived longer than contr...

A 50-year-old white man was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of abnormal findings on chest film. Three weeks prior to admission, he developed left pleuritic chest pain associated with some mild cough. No fever was noted at that time.
