Disseminated Cryptococcosis in an Immunocompetent Child
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Pathology - Year 2017, Vol 33, Issue 1
Abstract
A case of disseminated cryptococcus infection in an immunocompetent host is described. The present case attests to the importance of using a cautious approach for the diagnosis of granulomatous lymphadenitis. The patient was initially misdiagnosed and treated as disseminated tuberculosis. Later the patient developed visual loss and skin lesions. Periodic Acid Schiff stained sections of lymph node biopsy and cerebrospinal fluid culture established the diagnosis.
