A Case Report of Pulmonary Cryptococcosis Associated with Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Individual
摘要
Cryptococcus neoformans is encapsulated yeast primarily affects immunosuppressed and HIV infected individuals. Extrapulmonary dissemination and involvement of other organs are rare in immunocompetent persons. Here, we describe a case of disseminated cryptococcosis in an immunocompetent individual manifested as pleural effusion and meningitis.
