Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection caused by species of the genus which are commonly found in soil contaminated with bird feces, decaying wood, and tree hollows. It is usually seen in immunocompromised patients such as those with AIDS, with hematological malignancy, on immunosuppressive therapy, or after organ transplantation, and rare in immunocompetent hosts.
