Cryptococcosis may affect children of all ages, specially those who are inmunocompromised. It is usually acquired from the inhalation of environmental spores, although other sources of transmission exist. We describe a case of congenital cryptococcosis transmitted from a mother with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which was successfully treated with combination antifungal agents.
