Cryptococcal sepsis in small vessel vasculitis

Indian J Nephrol. 2010 Jul;20(3):159-61. doi: 10.4103/0971-4065.70850.

Abstract

While meningoencephalitis due to cryptococcus is well known in immunocompromised patients, disseminated cryptococcosis and cryptococcemia is rare outside the setting of advanced HIV infection. We report a case of disseminated cryptococcosis occurring in a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis on immunosuppressive medications.

Keywords: Cryptococcemia; Wegener’s granulomatosis; cryptococcemia; immunosupression.
