ABSTRACT
Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection caused by Cryptococcus neoformans which is frequently occurred in the immunosuppressed host. Any organ or tissue may become infected, however, tendon sheath infection is extremely rare. We report a case of primary cryptococcal tenosynovitis after direct skin injury in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who has been treated with methotrexate and leflunomide.
