Infection is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). There are many reports of cryptococcal infection in patients with SLE, on immunosuppression. However, untreated lupus with cryptococcal infection and dissemination is rare. CD4 lymphopaenia is not reported in such patients. We describe a patient with untreated SLE to be having cryptococcal granulomatous interstitial nephritis and dissemination with CD4 lymphopaenia.
