What happens during the disease - osseous cryptococcosis
Osseous cryptococcosis is an infection caused by the fungus cryptococcus neoformans, which is most commonly found in soil and bird droppings. the fungus gains entry to the bones through the bloodstream, where it can cause inflammation and destruction of the bone tissue. this can lead to pain, swelling, and the formation of cysts or abscesses. in more severe cases, the infection can spread to other organs, resulting in systemic symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and weight loss. treatment typically involves a combination of antifungal medications and surgery to remove any damaged bone tissue.
