ABSTRACT
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast that is often associated with serious pulmonary and central nervous system (CNS) infections in immunocompromised hosts. Disseminated cryptococcosis occurs hematogenously. Isolated cryptococcuria has been rarely described in patients without evidence of systemic cryptococcal infection. We describe isolated cryptococcuria in a patient on chronic corticosteroid therapy for sclerosing mesenteritis that was later found to have metastatic adenocarcinoma as well as combined T- and B-cell deficiency.
