隱球菌病
Also known as Busse-Buschke's disease, European cryptococcosis, torula, torulosis, cryptococcal infection, cryptococcus neoformans infection, Cryptococcosis、Cryptococcal disease
Cryptococcosis is a potentially fatal fungal infection of mainly the lungs, presenting as a pneumonia, and in the brain, where it appears as a meningitis. Coughing, difficulty breathing, chest pain and fever are seen when the lungs are infected. When the brain is infected, symptoms include headache, fever, neck pain, nausea and vomiting, light sensitivity and confusion or changes in behavior. It can also affect other parts of the body including skin, where it may appear as several fluid-filled nodules with dead tissue.

隱球菌病（英語：Cryptococcosis、Cryptococcal disease）是一種可能致命的真菌疾病，由一或二種真菌造成：新型隱球菌（Cryptococcus neoformans）與Cryptococcus gattii，兩者原本都被認為是Cryptococcus neoformans的變種，但現在被分成兩個不同的物種。 隱球菌病通常是藉吸入有感染力的繁殖體而感染，但繁殖體具體的形式還不確定，目前較被接受的說法是經有性或無性過程產生的擔孢子。
