Cryptococcosis is often seen in immunodeficient patients, including those with AIDS. It usually affects mainly the respiratory tract and central nervous system. We present a rare case of pleural involvement with no sign of disease at other sites. A review of the literature yields only three other similar cases. We discuss the diverse clinical manifestations of cryptococcosis, particularly those found in the respiratory tract.
隐球菌病常见于免疫功能低下的患者，包括艾滋病患者。它通常主要影响呼吸道和中枢神经系统。我们报告一例罕见的胸膜受累病例，其他部位无疾病迹象。文献回顾仅发现另外三例类似病例。我们讨论了隐球菌病的多种临床表现，尤其是在呼吸道中发现的表现。
