Abstract
Cryptococcosis is a life-threatening opportunistic fungal infection, being the third most common cause of invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, primarily caused by C. neoformans and C. gattii. The incidence in SOT recipients is 0.2-5%, associated with high morbidity and mortality of up to 30-50% in the acute setting. It is primarily considered to be reactivation of latent infection, occurring usually in the late post-transplantation period (>6 months after transplantation).
