Cryptococcosis Treatment
Some infections require no treatment. However, medical observation should continue for a year to detect any progression of the disease. If pulmonary lesions are present or the disease spreads, antifungal medications are prescribed, and treatment with these agents may be prolonged.
Medications include:
- Amphotericin B
- Flucytosine
- Fluconazole
