초록
Cryptococcosis is a systemic mycosis that most often involves the central nervous system, followed by subclinical or symptomatic pulmonary involvement. We describe a case of unsuspected pulmonary cryptococcosis in a 69-year-old woman, diagnosed by sputum cytology. Sputum smears revealed numerous yeast like organisms typical of Cryptococcus neoformans measuring from 7 to 17 um in diameter. Mucicarmine, PAS, and methenamine sliver stains showed positive reaction of capsule and cell wall of Cryptococcus neoformans.
