Pitfalls associated with the use of molecular diagnostic panels in the diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis [PDF]
We report the case of a kidney transplantation patient on chronic immunosuppressive therapy presenting with subacute meningitis. The final diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis was delayed due to 2 false-negative cryptococcal results on a molecular ...

Galactoxylomannans of Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Galactoxylomannans (GalXMs) from single isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans serotypes A, B, and D were isolated from culture supernatants and then purified by affinity, ion-exchange, and gel-filtration chromatography. GalXMs are a group of closely related complex polysaccharides.

Melanogenesis in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Melanogenesis in Cryptococcus neoformans begins with the oxidation of dihydroxyphenylalanine by the enzyme phenol oxidase. The succeeding steps are very rapid. Two intermediates, dopachrome and 5,6-dihydroxyindole, have been isolated and characterized by high performance liquid chromatography. A pathway of melanin formation in C. neoformans is proposed,
