  • Title: Primary cutaneous Cryptococcosis during therapy with methotrexate and adalimumab.
    Author: Wilson ML, Sewell LD, Mowad CM.
    Journal: J Drugs Dermatol; 2008 Jan; 7(1):53-4. PubMed ID: 18246698.
    Abstract:
    Primary cutaneous infection with Cryptococcus neoformans is uncommon, but can occur following an inoculation injury to the skin. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is important in the immune response to Cryptococcus, and patients taking inhibitors of TNF-alpha may have increased susceptibility to cryptococcal infection. We report a case of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis in a patient taking adalimumab, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine for rheumatoid arthritis.
