Serologic diagnosis of focal pneumonia caused by Cryptococcus neoformans
Am Rev Respir Dis.
1985 Jul.
Abstract
Cryptococcal antigen was detected in the serum of 3 patients with biopsy-proved Cryptococcus neoformans pneumonitis. It is possible that the specificity of this antigen test will allow the serologic diagnosis of cryptococcal pneumonia and obviate the need for invasive procedures.
