A 59-year old man with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia presented with extensive disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection including a large rib cryptoccocoma, vertebral spondylitis and pleural empyema. Complete resection of the affected part of the rib was necessary after failure of initial antifungal treatment. The vertebral spondylitis has been successfully managed at 3 years of follow-up by continuous itraconazole treatment and regular MRI combined with leucocyte scintigraphy assessment.
