<i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>: Diagnostic Dilemmas, Electron Microscopy and Capsular Variants

<i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>: Diagnostic Dilemmas, Electron Microscopy and Capsular Variants

Two cases of cryptococcal meningitis went undetected by a cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) lateral flow assay on blood in a reflex CrAg screen-and-treat programme in South Africa, although <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> was identified by culturing the cerebrospinal fluid specimens. Further in...
