Disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection associated to COVID-19

Disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection associated to COVID-19

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus associated with immune dysregulation. The use of immunosuppressant drugs as part of COVID-19 treatment (such as Tocilizumab or high -dose corticosteroids) increases the risk of opportunistic infections. Here we prese...
