Cryptococcosis Presenting as a Colonic Ulcer in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.
Transplantation Proceedings 2015 November
We present a case of a 59-year-old woman with Chagas disease who received a kidney transplant. At month 44 post-transplantation, the patient presented with diarrhea that had persisted for 2 months. Colonoscopy showed a colon ulcer and differential diagnoses included cytomegalovirus, bacteria, or parasite infection; drug-related diarrhea; Crohn's disease; celiac disease; and malignancy. The ulcer tissue was positive for Cryptococcus neoformans. Successful treatment consisted of amphotericin B for 8 days and oral fluconazole (800 mg daily) for 3 months. This case illustrates that a colonic ulcer, although rare, could be cryptococcosis.
