Abstract
A patient with lymphocytic leukemia died of meningoencephalitis due to hyphae-forming Cryptococcus neoformans. These forms were seen only in fresh preparations of cerebrospinal fluid and were lost immediately after culture on artificial media. The apparent rarity of these forms and their significance are discussed.Keywords
