RESUMO
A 42-year-old male presented with a dry cough, breathlessness, and fever. He underwent a computed tomography that revealed large consolidation in the right lung. Biopsy revealed Cryptococcus neoformans. He was on antifungal for 4 months with no clinicoradiological improvement. 18F- fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) showed consolidations in the right lung with multiple lung nodules. 18F-FDG PET/CT ascertains the diagnosis of residual fungal infection and rules out extrapulmonary involvement.
