Pulmonary cryptococcosis in chronic kidney disease
Pulmonary cryptococcosis is a fungal infection caused by Cryptococcus species, with Cryptococcus neoformans being the most common agent, affecting the lungs. While it commonly occurs in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, its presentation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is relatively rare. However, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of respiratory infections in patients with CKD, particularly in the context of immunosuppression.
