Disseminated cryptococcal infection is an uncommon initial manifestation in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The most common sites of involvement by cryptococci are the central nervous system and the lungs, and involvement of the marrow is rare. There are few descriptions in the literature on the cytologic findings of marrow cryptococcosis. We report a patient with disseminated cryptococcosis in which cytologic examination of the marrow provides the first clue to the diagnosis.
播散性隐球菌感染是获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者罕见的初始表现。隐球菌最常见的受累部位是中枢神经系统和肺部,骨髓受累罕见。关于骨髓隐球菌病的细胞学表现,文献中描述甚少。我们报告一例播散性隐球菌病患者,其骨髓细胞学检查为诊断提供了首个线索。
