摘要
Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic infection caused by encapsulated yeasts of genus Cryptococcus. It usually infects immunocompromised patients and has multisystemic involvement, the common sites being lungs, central nervous system, skin and bone marrow. Disseminated cryptococcosis has also been reported in immunocompetent individuals. We present an immunocompetent patient with disseminated cryptococcosis and extensive bone marrow involvement.
