Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cryptococcosis and talaromycosis are known as 'neglected epidemics' due to their high case fatality rates and low concern. Clinically, the skin lesions of the two fungal diseases are similar and easily misdiagnosed. Therefore, this study aims to develop an algorithm to identify cryptococcosis/talaromycosis skin lesions.
