Cryptococcosis is a disease caused by fungi from the genus Cryptococcus that infect humans and animals, usually by inhalation of the fungus, which results in lung infection that may spread to the brain, causing meningoencephalitis. The disease was first termed “Busse-Buschke disease” after the two individuals who first identified the fungus in 1894-1895. In general, the people infected with C. neoformans usually have some defect in cell-mediated immunity (especially HIV/AIDS patients).
