Pulmonary cryptococcosis presenting as wandering multiple bilateral shadows and hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement in the lungs

Jiong-Wei Pan et al. Trop Doct. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

We present a case of pulmonary cryptococcosis presenting as wandering multiple bilateral shadows and hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement in which the fluconazole treatment suppressed the symptoms. This case illustrates the complex nature of immunological responses in the lungs and highlights the need to consider the existence of cryptococcal allergies.

Keywords: Pulmonary cryptococcosis; wandering bilateral shadows.
