Primary cutaneous cryptococcosis. 1979

F W Iacobellis, and M I Jacobs, and R P Cohen

In our renal transplant patient with primary cutaneous cryptococcosis, intravenously administered antifungal chemotherapy resulted in resolution of the disease and appears to have prevented disseminated infection.
