Sites of infection involved central nervous system (n = 38), lung (n = 21), bloodstream (n = 11), skin (n = 1), and bone (n = 1). Nine patients (18.4%) had pulmonary cryptococcosis alone. Viral hepatitis B infection (57.1%) was the most common cause of cirrhosis. Patients with decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class B and C) were more likely to have extrapulmonary cryptococcosis than those with compensated cirrhosis (90.7% vs 64.7%; P = .049). In patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM), 7 were treated with amphotericin B with\/without flucytosine, 5 with amphotericin B plus fluconazole with\/without flucytosine, and 12 with fluconazole with\/without flucytosine. Fluconazole (&amp;gt;400 mg\/day) was well tolerated and only 1 patient had a mild adverse drug reaction. At 1-year follow-up, all patients treated with fluconazole with or without flucytosine survived, whereas the mortality rate was 14.3%\u201320.0% in the remaining groups. In addition, Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis (hazard ratio [HR], 7.555 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.393\u201340.971]) and time to diagnosis &amp;gt;120 days (HR, 18.619 [95% CI, 2.117\u2013163.745]) were independent factors for 1-year mortality in patients with CM.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Severity of cirrhosis was associated with developing extrapulmonary cryptococcosis and mortality in CM.
