Disseminated cryptococcosis presenting as cellulitis with necrotizing vasculitis.

S K Shrader, J C Watts, J A Dancik and J D Band

ABSTRACT

Patients with disseminated cryptococcosis infrequently present with cutaneous involvement. Skin lesions, when present, are usually multiple and polymorphous in appearance. Cellulitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans is rare, and necrotizing vasculitis associated with cryptococcal vascular invasion has not to our knowledge been reported. We report here a case of disseminated cryptococcosis in a renal transplant recipient who had cellulitis and necrotizing vasculitis and in whom a diagnostic skin biopsy allowed for early therapy with cure and salvage of the renal allograft.
