About Cryptococcosis

What is cryptococcosis?

Cryptococcosis is the disease caused by infection with fungi in the genus cryptococcus. Cryptococci are soil-dwelling fungi who cause infection by inhalation of fungal spores. Cryptococcosis may resolve by itself however it can be life-threatening in individuals with weakened immune systems. Cryptococcosis typically presents with pneumonia-like symptoms including coughing, fever and skin lesions. In some cases, the infection can spread to the central nervous system, causing meningoencephalitis.
