-- Introduction: Cryptococcosis is a mycotic opportunistic systemic serious infection of universal distribution that has raised her incidence with the appearing of the infection for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Objectives: Determining prevalence, and the clinical, laboratory and treatment characteristics of the cutaneous cryptococcosis in patients infected by the HIV. Design: Descriptive, retrospective, and observational. Place: In the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo. Participants: Patients with the diagnostic of cutaneous cryptococcosis infected with HIV (8 cases). Interventions: Recognition and revision of case history between january of the 2000 and december of 2010 (11 years). Uni-varied and bi-varied statistical analysis was tested, with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Prevalence was of the 0,43%. The mean age of the cases was of 36,4 years, predominating the masculine sex with 87,5 %. The primary and secondary cutaneous lesions more frequent were: Papule and/or nodule 85,5 %, and umbilical and/or crusty 85,7 %; joining pruritus 60 % of cases, with frequent position in face and upper extremities in 100 % and 62,5 % respectively. The mean of score of CD4 in blood was of 41,3 cell/mm³, with 57,1 % between 0 and 50. The cases were treated with Anfoterecine B and Fluconazol 62,5 %, with mean of the total of Anfoterecine B of 507,2 mg. Fluconazol's mean dose was of 400 mg/24h. All the cases had clinical favorable evolution, with partial remission to the first month of treatment. Conclusions: The cutaneous lesions more frequent were papule, umbilicate, and crusty. A month of treatment did not suffice to the complete response of the cutaneous injuries. -- Key words: Cryptococcosis cutaneous, HIV, prevalence, treatment, clinical
