Abstract

Cryptococcosis is a sporadical, systemic infection caused by the yeastlike fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Cryptococcosis is a rare infection in non-immunucompromised individuals. Although no marked immune defect was detected in a 45-year-old male patient, he developed disseminated cryptococcosis. Amphotericin B and fluconazole were used for treatment, but very slow improvement was achieved. At the end of one year-follow up period, all neurologic defects except visual loss were completely resolved.

Özet

Kriptokokkoz, Cryptococcus neoformans maya mantarının etken olduğu sporadik görülen sistemik bir infeksiyondur. Bağışıklığı baskılanmamış kişilerde nadir görülür. Kırkbeş yaşındaki erkek olguda belirgin bir immün defekt saptanmamasına rağmen yaygın kriptokokkoz gelişmiştir. Tedavisinde amfoterisin B ve flukonazol kullanılmış ve oldukça yavaş iyileşme göstermiştir. Bir yıllık takip sonunda görme kaybı dışındaki bütün nörolojik hasar tamamen düzelmiştir.
