ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.40.8.3098-3099.2002 | Abstract: | Cryptococcal meningitis has long been known to afflict immunocompetent patients in Singapore. We report the first identification of an isolate of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii from a Singaporean resident; this variety can cause invasive disease in the immunocompetent. Meningitis in a traveler returning from this area may be cryptococcal. | Source Title: | Journal of Clinical Microbiology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/130961 | ISSN: | 00951137 | DOI: | 10.1128/JCM.40.8.3098-3099.2002 |
