Mannose-binding lectin deficiency does not appear to predispose to cryptococcosis in non-immunocompromised patients.

Medical mycology - 1 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

While most patients with cryptococcosis have obvious cellular immune deficiency, a minority have no apparent predisposing factors. However, in the latter there may be subtle innate immune system deficiencies which go unrecognized. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency is associated with increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and may predispose to cryptococcosis, particularly when it disseminates to the...
