초록
We report a rare case of cryptococcal myositis with dissemination to lung in a 66-year-old diabetic woman who had no apparent risk factors for cryptococcal disease. She visited the hospital with a continuous pain in the right thigh and fever despite of treatment with antibiotics. She developed a localized lung infiltration. Crytococcus neoformans was isolated from the abscess of the right thigh and confirmed by molecular identification with DNA sequence analysis. Biopsy of the involved lung showed numerous budding yeasts consistent with Cryptocococcus species. The patient was successfully treated with surgical drainage and systemic antifungal agents.
Abstract
We report a rare case of cryptococcal myositis with dissemination to lung in a 66-year-old diabetic woman who had no apparent risk factors for cryptococcal disease. She visited the hospital with a continuous pain in the right thigh and fever despite of treatment with antibiotics. She developed a localized lung infiltration. Crytococcus neoformans was isolated from the abscess of the right thigh and confirmed by molecular identification with DNA sequence analysis. Biopsy of the involved lung showed numerous budding yeasts consistent with Cryptocococcus species. The patient was successfully treated with surgical drainage and systemic antifungal agents.
