Pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) primarily affects immunosuppressed individuals, though not exclusively. The clinical presentation is variable, and reaching a diagnosis is challenging, tuberculosis and cancer being the main differential diagnoses. Due to the neurotropism of this microorganism, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is mandatory. Treatment depends on the severity and extent of the disease, as well as the patient's immune status.

Following a mild COVID-19 diagnosis six months prior to admission, she developed chest pain, productive cough, and progressive dyspnea. A chest CT scan revealed multiple bilateral pulmonary consolidation foci. Histological examination of tissue obtained via transthoracic percutaneous biopsy was consistent with cryp...
