RESUMEN
RESUMEN La Criptococosis es una infección crónica que afecta a pacientes inmunucompetentes e inmunodeprimidos; producida por la levadura encapsulada del hongo Criptococo neoformans. Afecta principalmente al pulmón, a partir del cual puede diseminarse. La forma cutánea se divide en primaria cuando es producida por inoculación directa del hongo, y secundaria como consecuencia de un foco a distancia. Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente de sexo masculino de 57 años de edad inmunocompetente, con diagnóstico de Criptococosis cutánea primaria, forma de presentación poco frecuente.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Cryptococcosis is a chronic infection that affects immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients caused by the encapsulated yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. It primarily affects the lungs and it may disseminate. The cutaneous form is divided into primary, occurring after direct inoculation or secondary, due to dissemination from a distant site of infection. We present a case of a 57 years-old immunocompetent male with primary Cutaneous Cryptococcosis which is infrequent.
