A case of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis with Candida tropicalis co-infection

Abstract

Abstract:

A case of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis was reported. A woman has been suffered from geographic ulcer (5 cm×5 cm) in the face for half a year. Histopathology examination revealed a large number of infiltrating inflammatory cells. Round spores with capsule were identified by PAS staining and GMS staining.Yet Candida tropicalis was identified by fungal culture. The patient was diagnosed as primary cutaneous cryptococcosis with Candida tropicalis co-infection and got quick improvement with itraconazole.

Key words: ulcer, primary cutaneous cryptococcosis, candida
