Pulmonary cryptococcosis mimicking tuberculosis in an immunocompetent host
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Pulmonary cryptococcosis is usually underdiagnosed entity due its highly variable clinical presentation. In tuberculosis (TB)-endemic countries like Pakistan, its diagnosis is easily overlooked as there is a high degree of overlap in clinical, laboratory and radiographic presentation with TB. For definitive diagnosis fungal culture or molecular identification is required.
