  • Title: Primary cryptococcal prostatitis--rare occurrence.
    Author: Shah VB, Patil PA, Agrawa V, Kaswan HK.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2012 May; 60():57-9. PubMed ID: 23029729.
    Abstract:
    Cryptococcosis is a well recognized infection in immunocompromised patients. Cryptococcal infection primarily involves the lung and is hematogeneously spread to other organs. Sometimes it might affect the genitourinary tract. The prostate gland is a rare site of primary infection due to cryptococcus neoformans. We report a case of granulomatous inflammation in the prostate as a result of crypyococcus neoformans infection in a 70 year old immunocompetent patient, a non diabetic, which was diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy.
