Cryptococcal Osteomyelitis of the Patella: A Case Report.

Over a 20-month course, the patient was treated with fluconazole and antiretroviral therapy with very limited medication compliance. The disseminated infection caused cutaneous, hepatic, and cerebral complications. Eventually, compliance improved, and a final procedure to obtain post-treatment cultures and apply antifungal bone matrix was completed. The patient cleared the infection and will likely require lifetime antifungal treatment.
