Background: Cryptococcosis is one of the most frequent fungal eye infections in patients with immunosuppression. Currently, treatment approaches for non-meningeal, non-pulmonary cryptococcosis are based on those used for cryptococcal meningitis or pneumonia. Case presentation: We present a rare case of non-meningeal, non-pulmonary cryptococcosis with clinical manifestations limited to one eye of a cadaveric kidney transplant recipient with chronic-active antibody-mediated rejection. Typical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatments, including antifungal therapies, adjunctive therapies, and immunosuppression reduction, are discussed. After timely diagnosis and treatment, her visual acuity recovered to baseline without recurrence or sequelae of cryptococcosis. Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of rare presentations of fungal infections, especially when a kidney transplant recipient with rejection has been treated with intensive immunosuppressants. Early diagnosis with individualized therapies may have a favorable prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
