classically causes pulmonary and central nervous system (CNS) infection in immunocompromised hosts and can lead to disseminated disease. Two cases of atypical cryptococcal infection are presented-an elderly Human Immunodeficiency Virus- (HIV-) negative male with a urinary source of infection and a young HIV-positive male with bone marrow infiltration complicated by haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). A literature review of systemic cryptococcal infections involving the genitourinary tract and bone marrow was performed. These cases highlight the importance of clinicians considering uncommon manifestations of cryptococcal disease.
经典地,它会在免疫功能低下的宿主中引起肺部和中枢神经系统(CNS)感染,并可能导致播散性疾病。本文介绍了两例非典型隐球菌感染病例——一例是患有泌尿道感染源的老年人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)阴性男性,另一例是患有骨髓浸润并伴有噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症(HLH)的年轻HIV阳性男性。对涉及泌尿生殖道和骨髓的系统性隐球菌感染进行了文献综述。这些病例凸显了临床医生考虑隐球菌病罕见表现的重要性。
