ABSTRACT
Cryptococcosis is the third most common invasive fungal infection in solid organ transplantation, which usually occurs more than 6 months after the primary operation. In our series of 180 consecutive adult living-donor liver transplantation recipients, three (1.5%) had cryptococcosis and one of these patients died. The serum cryptococcal antigen examination was positive in all three patients who suffered from cryptococcosis. The serum cryptococcal antigen test might contribute to the early detection and treatment of cryptococcosis.
