Abstract

We report a case of an HIV-seronegative pregnant woman with disseminated cryptococcosis, poorly controlled during gestation. Immunological studies showed T-lymphocytopenia during gestation, but rapid recovery postpartum. T-lymphocytopenia may play a role in increased susceptibility to and severity of cryptococcal infection during pregnancy.
