Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast ubiquitous in nature which, when it infects humans, typically causes pulmonary disease and occasionally meningitis [1]. Serotyping of the organism has identified 3 main varieties: C. neoformans var. grubii (serotype A), C. neoformans var. neoformans (serotype D) and C. neoformans var. gattii (serotypes B and C) [2]. Serotypes A and D have been isolated throughout the world and have been associated with birds [1]. While C. neoformans var. gattii has been more frequently associated with disease in tropical and subtropical areas, infections throughout the world, including the United States and Europe, have been reported [3,4]. Eucalyptus trees appear to be the principle reservoir for the organism but the infection has been diagnosed in areas lacking eucalyptus, indicating that other environmental sources exist [3,5]. However, prolonged incubation periods can make it difficult to identify the true sources of exposure [6].
