Disseminated cryptococcal infection with pulmonary involvement presenting as diffuse cavitary nodules in an immunocompromised patient a case report

Abstract

Disseminated cryptococcal infection is especially prone to occur in immunosuppressed hosts. We herein report the case of an immunosuppressed girl with disseminated cryptococcal infection in whom pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) presented as diffuse cavitary pulmonary nodules, a finding which has rarely been reported.
