Cryptococcosis is infrequent in children, and isolated cryptococcal osteomyelitis is rarely encountered. Here, we describe a 14-year-old patient in remission from T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with osteomyelitis because of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii. The patient was effectively treated with antifungal therapy.
隐球菌病在儿童中并不常见，孤立性隐球菌性骨髓炎更是罕见。在此，我们描述一名14岁的患者，其T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病处于缓解期，却因新型隐球菌格鲁比变种感染而患上骨髓炎。该患者通过抗真菌治疗得到了有效治疗。
