Cryptococcal sacroiliitis.
Abstract
Disseminated cryptococcal disease is known to occur in patients with altered immune status. We have reported an unusual case of cryptococcal disease manifested solely by sacroiliitis, which occurred in a patient on chronic steroid therapy for autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. This case stresses the importance of considering unusual organisms as a cause of sepsis in patients with altered immune status.
