Скачать или смотреть 3.2.3. Cryptococcus: From Soil to Systemic Invasion

This clinical deep dive explores the world of Cryptococcus, an encapsulated yeast that rises from the soil to become a deadly environmental invader, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. We'll trace the path of this opportunistic fungus from inhalation to its devastating effects on the central nervous system.

Join us as we identify the high-risk populations, including those with Hodgkin's disease and AIDS, and walk through the critical steps of unmasking the pathogen in the lab. Learn about the gold-standard treatment arsenal for both pulmonary and meningeal cryptococcosis and the importance of navigating potential complications.

Finally, we'll review a clinical case to solidify your understanding of how to manage this serious systemic mycosis.
