ABSTRACT
Opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised patients are usually caused by candida, aspergillus, cryptococcus or zygomycetes. Rarely, fungal infections may occur in immunocompetent indivivals and are usually caused by cryptococcus or aspergillus. When infected by cryptococcus, the usual sites of infection include respiratory tract, central nervous system, or skin. Uncommon sites are liver, spleen, prostate, and bone marrow. When it involves liver, it can present with micro-abscesses, cholangitis, or hepatitis. Here we report a case of cryptococcal infection of liver in a HIV-negative patient presenting with micro-abscesses.
