Cryptococcus albidus var. albidus was isolated from the blood of a patient with pemphigus foliaceus after steroid therapy. This organism was found in triple extract peptone medium which is used in our laboratory for blood culture to detect aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Identification of Cryptococcus was made by the API 20C yeast carbohydrate assimilation test, together with conventional procedures. These include the demonstration of chlamydospore production, germ tube test, urease test, nitrate assimilation test and colony morphology. The patient infected with Cryptococcus albidus var albidus had a good response to oral ketoconazole therapy, then the recovered and was discharged. The isolate obtained from this case may be regarded as an etiologic agent in fungemia.
白色隐球菌白色变种是从一名接受类固醇治疗的落叶型天疱疮患者血液中分离出来的。该菌株是在我们实验室用于血培养以检测需氧菌和厌氧菌的三联提取物蛋白胨培养基中发现的。通过API 20C酵母碳水化合物同化试验并结合传统方法对隐球菌进行鉴定。这些传统方法包括观察厚垣孢子产生、芽管试验、尿素酶试验、硝酸盐同化试验和菌落形态。感染白色隐球菌白色变种的患者对口服酮康唑治疗反应良好，随后康复并出院。从该病例分离出的菌株可被视为真菌血症的病原体。
