 AB    Patients infected with HIV are susceptible to many opportunistic fungal
       infections. Cryptococcus neoformans infection is particularly common in
       patients with AIDS. We describe a patient with disseminated
       cryptococcosis resembling molluscum contagiosum and review the typical
       cutaneous manifestations of disseminated cryptococcosis. A synopsis of
       case reports in the English literature is also presented.
