Abstract:
Bone marrow cryptococcosis as initial sign of AIDS. The Authors describe a case of bone marrow cryptococcosis in a patient, female aged 27, in which a toluene-induced aplastic anemia was suspected. The mycosis was at first extracerebral and represented the initial manifestation of unexpected AIDS. The Authors discute the symptomatology and the clinical findings leading to the diagnosis and remark the main point of bone marrow evaluation as aid in diagnosing the infective pathology.
