Abstract
A case of primary cryptococcosis of the lungs was caused by an isolate of Cryptococcus neoformans that assumes a giant form in tissue but which has a normal appearance on artificial culture. Electron microscopy revealed gross enlargement of the capsule and plasma membranes in the tissue form.
