A 49-years-old man presented to hospital with Lymphadenopathy for 3 months and fever for 1 month. He had HIV infection with a CD4 count of 108 cells/μL. Serum cryptococcal antigen titer was 1:40. Serum galactomannan assay was negative. Chest CT scan demonstrated multiple pulmonary nodules (A, arrow). Lung biopsy showed encapsulated yeast-like fungal cells consistent with cryptococcal infection(arrows in B, alcian blue stain).
