- Abstract
We report the case of an African patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) who had a chronic cryptococcal rectal abscess with anal fistula and a disseminated neurologic and bony fungal disease, associated with pulmonary infiltration due to <em>Pneumocystis carinii</em>. The anal lesion was surgically excised because of failure of the medical treatment. Although clinical intestinal cryptococcal involvement is quite rare, the experience here recorded should draw physicians' attention to the possibility of an insidious disseminated disease in AIDS patients.
