A case is reported of isolated cryptococcal osteomyelitis in an 11-year-old girl without any detectable underlying disease. The patient was successfully treated for six weeks with intravenous amphotericin B and oral 5-flucytosine. There is only one other case of cryptococcal osteomyelitis reported in the English medical literature in a child. Over 50 per cent of individuals with this infection will have an underlying condition which may have predisposed them to acquiring this disease.
