摘要
We present an unusual case of disseminated cryptococcosis with necrotizing fascitis in an immunocompetent host. The multi-system cryptococcal infection was proved using standard microbiological, histopathological and radiological investigations. After a combination of antifungal, antimicrobial and surgical therapy clinical cure was achieved.
