| Core Tip |
Cryptococcosis is the third most common invasive fungal infection in solid organ transplant recipients. As an opportunistic infection, it poses substantial morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients. Mortality rates for cryptococcosis range from 10% to 25%. In immunocompromised patients, especially in cryptococcus-endemic areas, cryptococcosis must be suspected and diagnosed with a low threshold. Compared to India ink and fungal cultures, tests for the cryptococcal antigen detection in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma test are more sensitive and specific. The management of cryptococcosis poses considerable difficulties, mostly done with reduction or optimization of immunosuppression in addition to lipid formulations of amphotericin B and fluconazole. |
