- W3202028663 abstract "In this study, we report on three immunocompetent children with pulmonary cryptococcosis presenting mediastinal lymphadenopathy as the prominent manifestation. All three children were otherwise healthy previously. Two children had a history of exposure to pigeons and poultry. All three presented persistent fever accompanied by mild cough. There were no obvious positive signs in the lungs. One patient had enlarged cervical lymph nodes. All three had elevated levels of white blood cells, neutrophil count, and C-reactive protein (CRP). The levels of IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE and T cell subsets were normal in all cases, and they were all tested negative for HIV antibody. Two children were tested positive for serum cryptococcal antigen (sCRAG). The chest X-ray and pulmonary CT findings of the three patients all demonstrated marked enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes, and one patient had nodules in the parenchyma. Surgical biopsies of mediastinal lymph nodes were performed in two children and large numbers of capsule spores were found in the histological examination. In the three cases, definitive diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis were made in two patients, and clinical diagnosis was made in the third patient. Two patients were treated with fluconazole alone. The other patient whose condition was complicated with spleen infection was treated with fluconazole combined with amphotericin B for the first month, and was then given fluconazole for maintenance treatment. The overall treatment course lasted 5-9 months and all three were cured eventually. In conclusion, immunocompetent children with pulmonary cryptococcosis may present mediastinal lymphadenopathy as a prominent or isolated manifestation, which should be considered in differential diagnosis. Treatment with fluconazole alone or in combination with amphotericin B when it was necessary showed good therapeutic outcomes." @default.
