  • Title: Infection due to Cryptococcus neoformans of unusual morphology in a patient with AIDS.
    Author: Anandi V, Babu PG, John TJ.
    Journal: Mycoses; 1991; 34(9-10):377-9. PubMed ID: 1820516.
    Abstract:
    Cryptococcus neoformans with a rare morphology of hand-mirror appearance was demonstrated by direct microscopic preparation of both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sputum of a patient with AIDS. In addition, one to six blastoconidia were seen at the tip of a germ-tube like structure. Cr. neoformans was isolated in pure culture and the identification was confirmed by biochemical and serological tests as well as by animal pathogenicity.
