Cryptococcus has been increasingly seen as a pathogen with the growing incidence of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Cryptococcosis commonly presents with pulmonary, CNS or skin involvement. Bone marrow involvement of Cryptococci has been rarely reported. We are reporting a case of bone marrow Cryptococcosis in a 50-year-old Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) positive male, with review of literature.
随着获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)发病率的不断上升,隐球菌越来越被视为一种病原体。隐球菌病通常表现为肺部、中枢神经系统或皮肤受累。隐球菌累及骨髓的情况鲜有报道。我们报告一例50岁男性人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)阳性患者发生骨髓隐球菌病的病例,并对相关文献进行综述。
