| Core Tip |
Pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) is often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed owing to the absence of obvert symptoms, poor imaging specificity, and false-negative laboratory tests. We presented two cases of PC wherein serum cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) tests were negative; however, CrAg tests using lung tissue homogenate were positive. Our report aims to highlight the dilemma in diagnosing PC, as well as a novel adjunct in the diagnostic work-up for PC–cryptococcal antigen tests on lung tissue homogenates. |
