DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myab041
Abstract: Cryptococcosis by Cryptococcus gattii is endemic in Colombia, affecting mostly immunocompetent hosts. Since antifungal susceptibility differs between molecular types of cryptococcal isolates, as reported elsewhere, the aim of this study was to determine if 42… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myac035
Abstract: Azoles were used as the primary antifungal agents to treat the Cryptococcus gattii (C. gattii) infection. Evidence showed that subtypes of C. gattii respond differently to azoles, but the mechanism is largely elusive. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofx211
Abstract: Abstract Cryptococcus gattii infections, especially including those with severe clinical manifestations, may be related to underlying host immunologic factors. We present 2 cases with autoantibodies to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a key cytokine in macrophage… read more here.
