Note: A confirmed case was defined as a culture-confirmed C. gattii infection using differential media and genotyping. A probable case was defined as laboratory evidence of infection in an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–negative person using antigen detection, histopathology, or microscopy. Case data were provided through the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control Reportable Diseases Data Dashboard (http://www.bccdc.ca/health-professionals/data-reports/reportable-diseases-data-dashboard). Data from this table were used for the human case data in Figure 2.
