dc.description.abstractCryptococcus laurentii is one of several non- neoformans cryptococci that have rarely been associated with human infection. The spectrum of clinical infection due to non- neoformans species ranges from skin lesions to fungaemia. Most cases of non- neoformans fungaemia have been noso-comially acquired and have been associated with indwelling intravascular catheters and neutropenia. Limited data on in vitro susceptibilities of non- neoformans cryptococci show these species to be more resistant to fluconazole and flucytosine than most Cr. neoformans. Two such cases are presented here. Zusammenfassung . Cryptococcus laurentii ist eine von mehreren nicht- neofomans-Cryptococcus -Arten, die selten mit Krankheiten am Menschen in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Das Spektrum durch Nicht- neoformans -Arten bedingter klinischer Infektionen reicht von HautlÄsionen bis zur FungÄmie. Die Mehrzahl der FÄlle von nicht- neoformans -FungÄmie waren nosokomial bedingt und mit intravasalen Dauerkathetern und Neutropenie assoziiert. Die wenigen Daten Über In-vitro-SuszeptibilitÄt von Non- neoformans -Arten fÜr Fluconazol und Flucytosin sprechen dafÜr, daß diese Arten resistenter als die meisten Cr. neoformans-StÄmme sind. Zwei solcher FÄlle werden vorgestellt.en_US
