[Cryptococcal chorioretinitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].
We report a case of cryptococcal chorioretinitis discovered at ophthalmological examination of a 68-year-old woman with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. This localization revealed cryptococcal septicemia, without involvement of the central nervous system unlike most cases reported. Therapy with fluconazole (400 mg per day) led to gradual regression of the chorioretinal lesion.
