Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal disease with increased morbidity in China. Cryptococci can infect immunocompromised hosts as well as immunocompetent ones. In this study, we reviewed data of inpatients with cryptococcosis at Ningbo First Hospital from May 2010 to May 2020 and compared the clinical profiles of pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) and extrapulmonary cryptococcosis (EPC). Of 71 patients enrolled, 70 were non-HIV with dramatically increased prevalence especially in PC. 77.46% of cases were PC confirmed by pathology. The rest were EPC including intracranial infection (15.49%) and cryptococcemia (7.04%). Comparing to PC, a larger proportion of EPC patients were found to have immunocompromised conditions including predisposing factors (p All in all, underlying immunocompromised conditions may predict dissemination in PC without HIV which can be identified by LFA. |
