Cryptococcal infection is relatively uncommon, except among immunocompromised individuals. The most common human pathogenic species is Cryptococcus neoformans. Virtually all organs can be affected, particularly the central nervous and pulmonary systems. The prototypical manifestations of cutaneous cryptococcal infection include generalized papules, periorificial acneiform pustules, and molluscumlike vesicles on the upper body. We describe an unusual case of Cryptococcus albidus infection presenting atypically with generalized hemorrhagic plaques. Furthermore, we review the literature on diagnostic evaluation and treatment.
隐球菌感染相对不常见，免疫功能低下者除外。最常见的人类致病菌种是新型隐球菌。几乎所有器官都可能受累，尤其是中枢神经系统和肺部。皮肤隐球菌感染的典型表现包括全身丘疹、口周痤疮样脓疱以及上半身的传染性软疣样水疱。我们描述了一例罕见的浅白隐球菌感染病例，其非典型地表现为全身出血性斑块。此外，我们还回顾了关于诊断评估和治疗的文献。
