Disseminated Cryptococcosis in an Immunocompetent Adolescent
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Disseminated cryptococcosis usually occurs in immunocompromised patients and is often fatal. Occasionally, it affects immunocompetent persons causing respiratory and CNS involvement primarily. We present a case which was initially misdiagnosed as disseminated tuberculosis and subsequently turned out to be disseminated cryptococcosis. Relatives refused for treatment and took LAMA discharge. Even in country with high prevalence of TB in patients of PUO especially in sputum negative cases other differentials like cryptococcosis should be considered after common causes are ruled out and tissue diagnosis should be sought.
