Abstract

Pigeon droppings were collected in Copenhagen and Odense. In samples from pigeon lofts, cryptococci were found in 33% from Copenhagen and in 16% from Odense. All of the species of cryptococci found were Cr. neoformans. These findings are compared with the previous Danish investigations. The frequent occurrence of cryptococci in AIDS patients is mentioned.
