Detection of cryptococcosis in liquid‐based sputum cytology

Sputum cytology is a simple non‐invasive technique which can lead to rapid diagnosis of many pulmonary lesions. Liquid‐based cytology (LBC) can further aid in the diagnosis by providing a cleaner background. There are only a few reports of detection of cryptococcus in sputum samples. We report a case of cryptococcosis diagnosed on sputum cytology aided with LBC.
