Résumé
We report a case of cryptococcal pneumonia in a 53 years old female Nepali patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus type 2 who empirically received multiple broad-spectrum antibiotics and standard anti-tubercular treatment as well as glucocorticosteroids for suspected sarcoidosis before the diagnosis was finally established. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed autochthonous case of cryptococcosis reported from Nepal.
