Abstract

A 3-year-old boy being treated for disseminated tuberculosis with antitubercular drugs and steroids developed scalp swelling. Needle aspirate revealed yeasts inside macrophages, initially diagnosed as Histoplasmosis but later confirmed as Cryptococcosis. Treatment with liposomal amphotericin B and fluconazole resulted in lesion resolution.

Here we report a rare instance of disseminated cryptococcosis with skin involvement, possibly the first documented pediatric case of cryptococcosis from Odisha.

从组织胞浆菌病到隐球菌病：小儿头皮脓肿的诊断之旅。

一名 3 岁男孩因患播散性结核病而接受抗结核药物和类固醇治疗，结果头皮肿胀。针吸结果显示巨噬细胞内有酵母菌，最初诊断为组织胞浆菌病，后来确诊为隐球菌病。经两性霉素 B 脂质体和氟康唑治疗后，病灶消退。在此，我们报告了一例罕见的皮肤受累的播散性隐球菌病，这可能是奥迪沙第一例记录在案的隐球菌病儿科病例。
