| description | This is a report of isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans from blood culture. Identification was conducted by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The relevance of this report is related to the site affected, the severity of the infection, and the importance of correct and rapid identification of the causative pathogen for a successful treatment and for reducing the risk of morbidity and mortality.
