From: Clinical imaging diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis with different therapeutic responses
CT findings of incomplete response PC. Figure 2a-d were from the same patient at different therapeutic stages. Axial CT revealed diffuse ground-glass opacities with air-bronchograms in both lungs (a). One month after induction therapy (amphotericin B, 0.5-1.0 mg/kg/day and 5-fluorocytosine, 100 mg/kg/day), bilateral consolidation-interstitial lesions were partially absorbed (b), but with bilateral pleural effusions and larger mediastinal lymph node (b and c, intermediate progress). Six months after consolidation therapy (fluconazole, 400 mg/day, two months) and maintenance therapy (fluconazole, 200 mg/day, four months), bilateral ground-glass opacities and pleural effusions were completely absorbed on CT (d).
