- Abstract
Derivation and validation of a clinical model to identify cryptococcosis from suspected malignant pulmonary nodules: A dual-center case-control study Pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) usually presents as single or multiple pulmonary nodules (PNs) in immunocompetent patients, easily mimicked lung cancer clinically and radiologically (Figure 1), caused many unnecessary surgeries. (G, H) Male, 52 years old, suspected pulmonary cryptococcosis, and pathological diagnosed as pulmonary cryptococcosis adenocarcinoma gl PC is caused by I Cryptococcus i spp., a fungal disease that is endemic in many countries.1 Previously though, PC occurred in immunocompromised patients, such as infected by human immunodeficiency virus, long-term use of immunosuppressant, it's also common in immunocompetent population.
