Abstract
A plethora of cases of Cryptococcus neoformans infections have been recorded worldwide in immunocompromised individuals. The number of such cases showed a steady rise before 1981 and increased dramatically thereafter due to the AIDS epidemic. A similar pattern has been seen in Greece but, so far, infections appear to have been caused by C. neoformans var. neoformans. This paper describes for the first time two culture-proven C. n. var. gattii serotype B infections in Greece, one in an AIDS patient and one in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.
