title: Cryptococcal cellulitis with multiple sites of involvement.
abstract: Cryptococcal cellulitis is an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of generalized cryptococcal disease. We describe the only reported incidence with multiple sites of cutaneous involvement. In an immunosuppressed patient an apparent cellulitis, even with multiple sites of involvement, that does not respond to appropriate antibiotics should alert one to the possible diagnosis of cryptococcal cellulitis.
