Abstract
Kriptokokosis, kapsüla maya benzeri bir mantar olan Cryptococcus Neofonnans ile meydana gelen enfeksiyondur. Sıklıkla subakut ya da kronik olan hastalığın ilk önce respiratuar sistem de görüldüğü ve buradan kan yoluyla yayıldığı düşünülmektedir. Kriptokokkal cellulitis ise generalize hastalığın nadir kutanöz bir görünümüdür. Sistemik kriptokokkozis hastaların % 10-15'inde tespit edilmiştir. Yayınlarda bildirilen hastaların tümünde çeşitli hastalıklar nedeniyle sistemik immunsupresif ilaçların kullanıldığı dikkati çekmektedir. Olgumuzda da Juvenil Romatoid Artrit nedeniyle kortikosteroid kullanımı söz konusu idi. Böyle kişilerde antibiyotik tedavisine yanıt vermeyen bir cellulitis, kriptokokal selüliti düşündürmelidir.
Cryptococcosis is an infection which occurs with Cryptococcus neoformans that is an encapsulated yeast-like fungus. lt is mostly a subacute or a chronic disease that is thought to be seen in the respiratory tract first and then spread by hematogenously. Cryptococcal cellulitis is an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of generalized disease. It may occur in up to 10-15 % of patients with disseminated cryptococcosis. At all reported cases, because of various diseases, immunosuppressive treatment was applied. In our case corticosteroids had been used for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. If these patients have sellülitis and don't respond to antibiotic therapy, it makes us think that they will have cryptococcal sellülitis.
