Abstract
Routine use of differential nutrients for isolating Cryptococcus neoformans (Staib-Agar) during post-mortem examination revealed previously unsuspected chronic pulmonary cryptococcosis in a 64 yr old woman. Cause of recurrent pleural effusions over 3 yr were probably sub-pleural cryptococcomas. In on-target and specific search for the cryptococcosis pathogen, the lung deserves special attention as a probable gateway.
