Cryptococcosis is a serious fungal infection in both huaman and animals caused by members of the Cryptococcus neoformans/ Cryptococcus gattii species complex. The main route of entry is respiratory tract. Meningitis is the most common clinical manifestation of cryptococcosis in immunocompromised patients and considered as one of AIDS defining illnesses. The known natural sources of the fungus...
introduction cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection mostly in immunocompromised patients. here we present the immunocompetent case with crypotoccosis. case presentation a 60-year-old man without any history of immunodeficiency or major risk factor of fungal infection, referred to the emergency department with systemic symptoms and low back pain. the patient’s condition gradually de...
Objective: to investigate the level of awareness and perception about cryptococcosis by residents Montes Claros-MG. Method: cross-sectional study, with a quantitative character descriptive analysis. For data, semi-structured questionnaire was used, available online on social media Instagram, Facebook Whatsapp, questions related population's knowledge birds breeding, other points cryptococcosis....
AIM To describe the main characteristics and the treatment of cryptococcosis in patients with sarcoidosis. DESIGN Multicenter study including all patients notified at the French National Reference Center for Invasive Mycoses and Antifungals. METHODS Retrospective chart review. Each case was compared with two controls without opportunistic infections. RESULTS Eighteen cases of cryptococcos...
Abstract Cryptococcosis and tuberculosis are life-threatening opportunistic infections that occur in apparently immunocompetent or severely immunocompromised individuals worldwide. As both strongly linked to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, they may share certain clinical manifestations the interaction of their treatments should be considered. However, despite similarity, concurren...
Cryptococcosis is a significant infection with a high mortality in solid-organ transplant recipients. Nonetheless, the pathogenesis of this disease is poorly understood. It has been hypothesized that cryptococcosis may result from either primary infection or reactivation of a latent infection. Sera were obtained from transplant recipients prior to transplantation and at the time they developed ...
BACKGROUND Cryptococcus species usually affect the central nervous system and lungs in immunocompromised hosts. Although the adrenal glands can be involved in disseminated cryptococcosis, primary adrenal insufficiency caused by the fungal infection is uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of primary adrenal insufficiency with bilateral adrenal masses and liver invasion in a 43-year-ol...
Cryptococcosis is a rare opportunistic infection in the immunocompromised host.1,2 Diagnosis of disseminated fungal infections is rarely thought of in immunocompetent hosts. In developing countries where tuberculosis is endemic, Cryptococcosis is often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis.3,4 A 14 year old girl, misdiagnosed as miliary tuberculosis with Koch's abdomen on ATT, presented with seizures. A...
BACKGROUND The role of B cells in resistance to Cryptococcus neoformans disease (i.e., cryptococcosis) is unknown. Given evidence that IgM(+) memory B cells are required for immunity to other encapsulated pathogens, we hypothesized that these cells might contribute to resistance to cryptococcosis. METHODS We compared levels of IgM expression on memory B cells in 29 HIV-infected individuals wh...
Cryptococcosis is an important complication of solid-organ transplantation, but the risk factors for disease are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to investigate whether specific or nonspecific serum immunoglobulin levels determined in samples obtained before and after solid-organ transplantation differed in patients who did or did not develop cryptococcosis after transplantation. W...
