Dr. Jessica Pelletier and Dr. Mulungi Jonathan discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, management, and prevention of cryptococcosis.

Take-Home Points:

  • Cryptococcus is deadly and demands early recognition.
  • Most global burden is in Sub‑Saharan Africa.
  • Crypto isn’t just an HIV disease.
  • CNS and lungs are the most commonly affected organs.
  • CrAg LFA is the best diagnostic tool in resource‑limited settings.
  • Elevated intracranial pressure is the major killer.
    • Positive pulmonary crypto requires a lumbar puncture - even without neuro symptoms.
  • After managing the ABCDs, treatment = antifungals + ICP control + supportive care.
