amphotericin B plus flucytosine or fluconazole, is preferred in the induction phase. Antifungal therapy consists of three phases: induction, consolidation, and maintenance. Treatment of cryptococcosis consists of three main aspects: antifungal therapy, intracranial pressure management for cryptococcal meningitis, and restoration of immune function with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to treatment success. Laboratory diagnosis of cryptococcosis includes direct microscopic examination, isolation of Cryptococcus from a clinical specimen, and detection of cryptococcal antigen. Mucocutaneous lesions include nodular, granulomatous mass or in the form of superficial or deep ulcers.
Specifically, in the head and neck, it has been shown to involve the nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, tonsils, oral cavity and larynx. Disseminated infection may affect multiple organs. Cryptococcosis includes three types of infections: Cryptococcal meningitis (most common presentation), Pulmonary cryptococcosis and cutaneous cryptococcosis. Exposure usually occurs through inhalation of aerosolised propagules. It is one of the common causes of mortality among HI-infected patients. Cryptococcosis has been one of the most common opportunistic mycosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans.
