Cryptococcal Lymphadenitis on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology : A Report of 2 Cases
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Cryptococcal infection most commonly affects the lung, meninges and skin. The involvement of lymph node in cryptococcosis is considered to be rare and is usually observed in cases where the disease is very widely disseminated affecting the mediastinal and cervical lymph nodes. Disseminated cryptococcosis is a life threatening disease seen more commonly in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or other forms of immune suppression. We report 2 cases of AIDS with cryptococcal lymphadenitis, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology of the involved lymph node.
