Crytococcus neoformans var. gattii in an AIDS patient: first observation in Mexico.
J Med Vet Mycol. 1997 Jan-Feb; 35(1):57-9.JM

Abstract

We report the first, as far as we know, Mexican case of meningitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii serotype B associated with AIDS in a female patient. The HIV was transmitted to the patient through a blood transfusion. This patient represents, worldwide, the ninth case of C. neoformans var. gattii in patients with AIDS.
