Cryptococcus neoformans presenting as osteomyelitis is an unexpected clinical scenario in the transplant ward. A young male who underwent spousal kidney donor transplantation 16 months ago presented with painful and ulcerated soft tissue in upper and lower limbs which were diagnosed as cryptococcus osteomyelitis. He was managed with surgical debridement, liposomal amphotericin B, flucytosine and reduction in maintenance immunosuppression (IS). To our knowledge this is the first reported case of multifocal cryptococcus osteomyelitis in a kidney transplant recipient. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
