We report a case of a patient who received a selective JAK1 inhibitor and subsequently developed multiple pulmonary nodules with cavitation. Biopsies confirmed the presence of cryptococcosis and the patient responded well to anti-fungal therapy.enSouth African Medical AssociationJanus kinase inhibitorsOpportunistic infectionsRheumatoid arthritis (RA)Article
