摘要

一名88岁男性因左臂肿胀和发红，在入院前几个月接受了高剂量全身类固醇治疗COVID-19和特发性间质性肺炎。入院第8天血液样本中检出新型隐球菌，尽管接受了抗真菌治疗，患者仍于第43天死亡。临床医生应警惕因使用大剂量全身类固醇治疗COVID-19而导致长期免疫抑制的风险。

Disseminated cryptococcosis in a geriatric man following high-dose systemic steroid therapy for severe COVID-19 pneumonia

An 88-year-old man was treated with high-dose systemic steroid therapy for COVID-19 and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia months before admission to the hospital because of swelling and redness in his left arm. Cryptococcus neoformans was detected in his blood sample on day eight of admission, and despite antifungal therapy, he died on day 43. Clinicians should be vigilant about the risk of prolonged immunosuppression as a side effect of high-dose systemic steroid usage for COVID-19.
