  • Title: Ventriculitis due to Cryptococcus uniguttulatus.
    Author: McCurdy LH, Morrow JD.
    Journal: South Med J; 2001 Jan; 94(1):65-6. PubMed ID: 11213945.
    Abstract:
    Infections due to non-neoformans cryptococci are rare. We report the first case of a human infection caused by Cryptococcus uniguttulatus. Ventriculitis caused by this organism developed in a 65-year-old woman who had had repair of an internal carotid aneurysm. In vitro sensitivity testing showed the Cryptococcus species sensitive to amphotericin B and itraconazole. Treatment with amphotericin led to resolution of the infection.
