Unusual Presentation of Severe Endobronchial Obstruction Caused by Cryptococcus gattii in a Child: Case Report and Literature Review Severe Endobronchial Cryptococcosis in a Child

Disease caused by Cryptococcus gattii typically manifests as meningoencephalitis or pulmonary nodules. Endobronchial lesions are rare, and most cases are caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. We describe here a case of endobronchial disease in a child caused by C gattii. The disease spectrum in this patient was notable for the discovery of anti-granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor autoantibodies.
