[Cryptococcosis with a lesion of the meninges and adrenals (on the choice of fungal stain in histological sections].

A description of vitally unrecognized cryptococcal meningitis and tumour-like cryptococcosis of the adrenals is presented. Comparison of the results of various stainings for degeneratively changes and phagocytized fungi suggests that cryptococci in histological sections should be stained by Zihl-Nilsen's method (methylene blue and basic fuchsin).
