Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii in India
J Med Vet Mycol.
1993.
Abstract
An examination of 18 clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans from India revealed that 15 belonged to C. neoformans var. neoformans (serotype A = 13 isolates, serotype AD = two isolates) and three belonged to C. neoformans var. gattii (serotype B). This is the first documented record of the var. gattii and serotype AD of the var. neoformans occurring in India.
