Torulosis associated with Hodgkin's disease.
نویسنده
چکیده
Infections due to Cryptococcus neoformans, a pathogenic yeast causing the disease torulosis, have been reported infrequently in Britain, but are more common than the 10 cases so far published would suggest (Symmers, 1953). Torulosis is a worldwide disease and is endemic in Britain. The association of this infection with Hodgkin's disease has been reported previously (Gendel, Ende, and Norman, 1950), but its apparent rarity in Britain is the reason for presenting an example of recent occurrence.
