Cross-Reacting Ustilago maydis Causing False-Positive Cryptococcal Antigen Test Results

Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeast within the division Basidiomycota that may cause pulmonary and central nervous system (CNS) disease. Latex agglutination (LA) and lateral flow assay (LFA) for detection of cryptococcal polysaccharide antigen are sensitive and specific tests for diagnosis of
