Abstrakt: A case is presented of a renal allograft recipient with 2 episodes of cryptococcal septicemia temporally related to genitourinary manipulation, which preceded the usual signs of meningeal or cutaneous infection. A review of the literature suggests that cryptococcal disease may, occasionally, manifest itself initially in the genitourinary tract. Therefore, we suggest that cryptococcal infection be suspected in the compromised host who has symptoms of cystitis or bladder outlet obstruction during a short period.
