Abstract

The global distribution of 96 clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii among a total of 725 C. neoformans isolates was investigated. While C. neoformans var. gattii was not found among isolates obtained from Europe (excluding the United Kingdom) and Japan; and it was found only infrequently in North America (excluding Southern California), the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Argentina; the variety was prevalent in regions with tropical to subtropical climates such as South East Asia, Southern California, Brazil, Mid to South Pacific, and the central part of Africa. Among the isolates of C. neoformans var. gattii in our collection, serotype B predominanted (77 of 96), and the serotype C isolates were almost exclusively from North America.

热带和亚热带地区新型加蒂隐球菌高流行率

对全球725株新生隐球菌中96株临床分离株的分布进行了调查。而在欧洲(不包括英国)和日本的分离株中未发现新形态C. gatii变种;在北美(不包括南加州)、英国、新西兰和阿根廷很少发现;该品种普遍存在于热带至亚热带气候地区，如东南亚、南加州、巴西、中至南太平洋和非洲中部。在我们收集到的新型加蒂弧菌分离株中，血清B型占多数(96株中有77株)，而血清C型几乎全部来自北美。
