Cutaneous cryptococcus infection due to C. albidus associated with Sézary syndrome

S Narayan et al. Br J Dermatol. 2000 Sep.

Abstract

Cryptococcus albidus is a non-neoformans species of the genus Cryptococcus and is a rare cause of disease. There have been only 13 previously reported cases of systemic disease in which this opportunistic yeast has been isolated from the lung, cerebrospinal fluid and blood. We report the first case of cutaneous Cryptococcus infection due to the species C. albidus, in a man with Sézary syndrome.
