Early cryptococcosis infection in a liver transplant patient: A case report.

Cryptococcosis is a systemic fungal infection mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. The infection is occasionally seen in 16-21 months after organ transplantation, while early involvement is uncommon within <30 days posttransplantation. In the present study, we reported an unusual case of cryptococcosis infection 21 days after transplantation, limited to the transplanted liver in a 60-year-old male. Treatment with an antifungal agent showed prompt improvement in his clinical condition.
