Cryptococcus albidus infected pulmonary mycosis with miliary nodules in CT imaging: Two case reports

We presented two cases of Cryptococcus albidus fungemia in men who were identified with millary nodules by chest computed tomography (CT). They present cough and fever, with no other abnormal physical examination. The patients were treated successfully with a week-long course of voriconazole tablets. Accurate microbiological diagnosis of NGS and effective therapy as antifungal treatment of voriconazole tablet are critical for C albidus infection. Total of 18 cases of C albidus infection cases were identified from 2000 years to now, eight of which were invasive C albidus infection, and ten were noninvasive infection. None died cases were reported in noninvasive infection.
