This is a case of cryptococcosis of the central nervous system, which often presents in immunosuppressed patients with little associated inflammation. The yeasts are oval or round pink structures, each with a thick capsule. Many exist in groups of 2, with a narrow connecting base in between. They may be confused as red blood cells, but their size variation, consistent oval shape and lacking folded forms or disc-shape are quite characteristic.

This is a case of cryptococcosis of the central nervous system, which often presents in immunosuppressed patients with little associated inflammation. 本例是一中枢神经系统的隐球菌感染,常见于免疫抑制的患者,伴随的炎症非常轻微。The yeasts are oval or round pink structures, each with a thick capsule. 孢子卵圆形或圆形粉红结构,每一个孢子都有较厚的外囊。Many exist in groups of 2, with a narrow connecting base in between. 许多孢子二个成组,有狭窄的基底部相连。They may be confused as red blood cells, but their size variation, consistent oval shape and lacking folded forms or disc-shape are quite characteristic. 有时可能误认为是红细胞,它们和红细胞的大小不一样,呈卵圆形,没有皱折也没有盘样结构。
