Conclusion
Disseminated cryptococcosis was attributed to the final cause of death
in the deceased with underlying HIV disease, who was not diagnosed with
either of these conditions during her lifetime. Clinical autopsy should
be conducted meticulously along with adequate ancillary tests to
correctly identify the cause of death as it can provide valuable
information about disease burden in the region. Minimal invasive tissue
sampling technique can be a useful tool in determining cause of death in
low resource settings. In mortality cases with likely infectious
conditions and other natural diseases, clinical autopsies have an
important clinical and public health implications.
