Clinical and Computed Tomography (CT) Characteristics of Pulmonary Nodules Caused by Cryptococcal Infection.

The clinical characteristics of patients with solitary and multiple nodules caused by PC are similar. The solitary nodules are smaller, more scattered, but less necrotic than multiple ones. For solitary nodules with air bronchogram or vacuole, satellite lesions, or halo sign, PC should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis.
