Cryptococcosis is a systemic mycosis usually affecting patients of immunodeficiency i.e. transplants recipients, patients on chemotherapy for neoplastic diseases and in those suffering from human immunodeficiency virus infection. We report a 52-year old male suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) on chemotherapy who presented with fever and features of prostatism. Cryptococcus neoformans infection (CN) was diagnosed on aspiration of a prostatic nodule. Subsequent investigations revealed a disseminated involvement by cryptococcus. The case represents an unusual presentation of disseminated cryptococcosis.
隐球菌病是一种全身性真菌病，通常影响免疫缺陷患者，即移植受者、接受肿瘤疾病化疗的患者以及感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的患者。我们报告一例52岁男性，患有慢性淋巴细胞白血病（CLL）且正在接受化疗，出现发热和前列腺增生症状。经前列腺结节穿刺抽吸诊断为新型隐球菌感染（CN）。后续检查显示隐球菌呈播散性累及。该病例代表了播散性隐球菌病的一种不寻常表现。
