摘要
We describe an HIV-positive patient suffering from cutaneous cryptococcosis who was a former intravenous drug abuser and who presented a nodulo-ulcerated lesion on the back of his left hand. This was caused 4 months previously when the patient was injured by a pigeon nesting in an abandoned house. After fluconazole treatment for 4 months, no other visceral infections were recorded 18 months after complete healing of the lesion.
