Abstract
Disseminated cryptococcosis mainly occurs in patients with cell-mediated immunity disorders. A case of disseminated cryptococcosis, in a patient with pituitary Cushing's disease, is reported. Cultures of blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and aspirates of a skin lesion all grew Cryptococcus neoformans. Despite antifungal treatment, with amphotericin-B, the patient died within 3 weeks.
