title: Concomitant cryptococcosis and burkholderia infection in an asymptomatic lung transplant patient with cystic fibrosis.
abstract: Concomitant pulmonary infections with Cryptococcus neoformans and Burkholderia cepacia in lung transplant recipients are very rare and create unique diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Herein, we present a double lung transplant patient with cystic fibrosis who was found to have coinfection with these two rare organisms, though he was completely asymptomatic.
