Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease characterized by the presence of noncaseating granulomas. Case reports have previously described an association between sarcoidosis and cryptococcal infection, but many of these patients were receiving immunosuppression at the time of diagnosis or had limited cutaneous disease. We report a case of cryptococcal meningitis in a 65-year-old man with a new presentation of sarcoidosis who was not receiving immunosuppressive medications.
结节病是一种多系统肉芽肿性疾病，其特征为存在非干酪样肉芽肿。此前的病例报告曾描述过结节病与隐球菌感染之间的关联，但这些患者中的许多人在诊断时正在接受免疫抑制治疗，或者皮肤疾病有限。我们报告一例65岁男性隐球菌性脑膜炎病例，该患者有结节病的新表现，且未接受免疫抑制药物治疗。
