AB A review of the literature suggests some differences in the cutaneous
manifestations of cryptococcosis present in patients in the pre-acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) era compared with those manifestations
that are present in today's AIDS era. In both periods, cutaneous
manifestations can precede and be the sole clue to disseminated
cryptococcal infection. Today, cutaneous cryptococcal involvement is
often mistaken for molluscum contagiosum or Kaposi's sarcoma. We
describe a patient with disseminated cryptococcosis who presented with
skin lesions mimicking molluscum contagiosum, and who was subsequently
shown to have AIDS.
