RESUMEN
Disseminated Cryptococcosis infection typically occurs in immunocompromised patients, often manifested as pneumonia or meningoencephalitis. Cases with involvement of either prostate or adrenal glands are less frequent. We describe a case of an immunocompromised 62-year-old man with new-found Idiopathic CD4 + T lymphocytopenia who presented with urinary irritation symptoms followed by headache. The patient was finally diagnosed as disseminated cryptococcosis of prostate, adrenal gland involvement with the help of combining histopathology of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue with metagenomic next-generation sequencing technique to identify C neoformans sensu stricto in prostate, adrenal gland tissues. Clinicians should be aware of atypical presentations of cryptococcal disease. In this case of cryptococcosis in immunocompromised patients, we find that cryptococcosis can affect varied organs simultaneously and should be considered in the differential of infectious diseases. And mNGS technology helps to confirm the diagnosis.
