Die Kryptokokkose (auch Busse-Buschke-Krankheit nach den Erstbeschreibern) ist eine opportunistische Pilzinfektion. Sie wird in 95 % aller Fälle durch Cryptococcus neoformans verursacht. Die Infektion verläuft primär meist ohne Krankheitserscheinungen. Eine Erkrankung infolge einer akuten Infektion oder einer Aktivierung einer latenten Infektion kommt beim Menschen vor allem bei Immunschwäche vor, so bei AIDS oder nach Knochenmarktransplantation.
