Cryptococcal infections usually manifest as sporadic infections in immunocompromised individuals. In this paper, two cases of disseminated cryptococcal infections in immunocompetent individuals have been presented. Both patients had meningitis, accompanied by pulmonary infection in one and fungemia in the other. Amphotericin B and fluconazole have been administered but both patients were lost despite pertinent antifungal treatment. Our objective was to point out the high mortality of cryptococcal infections even in immunocompetent patients and emphasize on the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
