A case of pulmonary cryptococcosis in a free-living toad (Bufo bufo)

Pulmonary cryptococcosis was observed in a free-living adult female common toad (Bufo bufo) that was killed by a vehicle. Both lungs had various eosinophilic, monomorphic, and spherical to elliptical organisms identified as Cryptoccocus spp. The yeasts were demonstrated by Grocott's silver method and the periodic acid-Schiff reaction and the capsule was positive for mucin with a mucicarmine stain. The agent was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, using the monoclonal antibody anti-Cryptococcus neoformans, and by a polymerase chain reaction-based method using a C. neoformans-specific primer. This report, to the best of our knowledge, represents the first case of cryptococcosis in a common toad.     

Asymptomatic pulmonary cryptococcosis diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology. A case report

BACKGROUND: Cryptococcosis can be a life-threatening mycosis in immunocompromised patients. However, it has a somewhat better prognosis in immunocompetent hosts. AIDS has led to an increase in the incidence of the disease. Clinically, the lesions can be confused easily with malignancy. CASE: A 25-year-old, asymptomatic male presented for a routine health check-up. The chest radiograph showed a subpleural left apical area of consolidation, suspicious for either a neoplasm or infection. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed a granulomatous lesion with refractile yeast forms of Cryptococcus, both within the multinucleate giant cells and extracellularly. This was subsequently confirmed by culture and histology. CONCLUSION: The cytomorphology of cryptococcosis is characteristic, and FNAC is a useful modality for diagnosing the infection in asymptomatic patients but needs a high index of suspicion, especially in nonimmunocompromised patients.     

Lymphonodular cryptococcosis diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology in hyper-IgM syndrome. A case report

BACKGROUND: Most cases of cryptococcosis are diagnosed when signs of meningitis have appeared. We report a case of lymphonodular cryptococcosis that was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), excisional biopsy of a cervical lymph node and culture of aspirated material. CASE: An 11-year-old boy presented with a history of fever and enlarged bilateral cervical lymph nodes of two weeks' duration. Past medical history included immunoglobulin replacement for hyper-IgM syndrome for the previous eight years. FNAC smears from a cervical lymph node showed numerous yeasts of various sizes, ranging from 5 to 15 microns in diameter, located in the cytoplasm of multinucleated giant cells and in the background. In air-dried, Diff-Quik-stained slides, the yeasts stained blue and were surrounded by clear halos. Aspirated material collected in the syringe was cultured, and Cryptococcus neoformans was isolated. CONCLUSION: This case report suggests that a combination of FNAC and culture is a simple and useful method of diagnosing fungal infections. Early diagnosis by FNAC makes possible the early initiation of treatment.
