病人:男性,52岁最终诊断:隐球菌病症状:前额皮肤病变和发热药物治疗:-临床程序:-专长:传染病不寻常的临床过程新型隐球菌(C。新生儿)感染是AIDS患者中最常见的机会性感染之一。C.新生儿通常感染中枢神经系统(CNS)和/或肺部,具有典型的临床表现。在此,我们报告一位52岁的HIV-1感染男性,合并有播散性隐球菌病,包括亚急性脑膜炎、肺部及皮肤隐球菌病,但仅以皮肤病变为主诉。此外,脑脊液(CSF)测试和肺部计算机断层扫描(CT)的结果是不典型的。我们提出了这种情况下的临床特点,并讨论了诊断程序,这将可能有助于临床医生在作出及时明确的诊断这种疾病。
Patient: Male, 52 Final Diagnosis: Cryptococcosis Symptoms: Forehead skin lesions and fever Medication: — Clinical Procedure: — Specialty: Infectious Diseases Unusual clinical course Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) infection is one of the most common opportunistic infections in AIDS patients. C. neoformans usually infects the central nervous system (CNS) and/or lungs with typical clinical manifestation. Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old HIV-1-infected man with disseminated cryptococcosis, including sub-acute meningitis, pulmonary, and cutaneous cryptococcosis, but only skin lesion served as the chief complaint. Moreover, the results of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests and lung computed tomography (CT) scan were atypical. We present the clinical characteristics of this case and discuss the diagnostic procedure, which will likely help clinicians in making a timely definitive diagnosis of this disease.
