How Histopathology Can Contribute to an Understanding of Defense Mechanisms against Cryptococci

(a, b) On days 15 and 30 after infection, pulmonary sections of mice infected with C. gattii TIMM 4097 showed eccentric enlargement of alveoli containing prominent proliferation of yeast cells with disease progression (periodic acid Schiff (PAS) reaction, ×100, resp.). (c, d) On days 15 and 30 after infection, pulmonary sections of mice infected with C. gattii TIMM 4903 showed lesser degree of yeast cell proliferation and alveolar expansion than these with C. gattii TIMM 4097 (PAS reaction, ×100, resp.).
