Cryptococcal endophthalmitis: diagnostic vitreous aspiration cytology

G J O'Dowd et al. Am J Clin Pathol. 1983 Mar.

Abstract

A case of cryptococcal endophthalmitis diagnosed by vitreous aspiration membrane filtration cytology is presented. Interest lies in its being the first such diagnosis reported by vitreous aspiration. This case also illustrates the usefulness of combining membrane filtration cytology with the mucicarmine stain for identification of the cryptococcal capsular mucin.
