Abstract

Cryptococcus neoformans (CN) is an encapsulated yeast that causes disseminated and potentially life-threatening in immunocompromised hosts. We present a patient with primary myelofibrosis on ruxolitinib who developed disseminated disease due to CN. The report underscores the importance of suspecting infections with intracellular pathogens in immunosuppressed patients on ruxolitinib.
