Cryptococcal polysaccharide accumulation
Introduction
Introduction Cryptococcus mainly causes central nervous system, lung and skin lesions, and severe cases can be life-threatening. Disseminated lesions can also occur in the long bones, joints, liver, spleen, kidney, heart, testis, prostate and other organs. A typical affected tissue contains a capsule-like yeast cyst, which is formed by the accumulation of cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide, but with little or no acute inflammation. In severe cases, sepsis can spread to various organs of the body and even cause death.
