Abstract
Pulmonary cryptococcal infections occur in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals, with a reported increased incidence of diffuse pulmonary disease in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. The authors observed no differences in the radiographic appearances of pulmonary cryptococcal disease between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients and other immunocompromised individuals. Chest computed tomography (CT) contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of pulmonary cryptococcal infections.Keywords
