AB  - Pulmonary infections from the environmental fungus Cryptococcus gattii (C. 
      gattii) are notable for cryptococcomas, which are usually solitary and can be 
      very large. As with infections with Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) 
      patients can have concomitant cryptococcal meningitis; however, unlike for C. 
      neoformans, infections with C. gattii often occur in immunocompetent patients. 
      The highest published incidence of C. gattii infection has been in the Indigenous 
      Australian population of Arnhem Land in the tropical north of the country. More 
      recently C. gattii has been responsible for outbreaks of cryptococcosis in the 
      Pacific Northwest of Canada and the United States of America (USA). A previously 
      healthy Indigenous male from Arnhem Land presented with pulmonary cryptococcosis 
      with chest imaging showing >50 bilateral lung nodules. This unusual occurrence 
      was attributed to probable inhalation of fungal elements from prior use of a 
      high-pressure leaf blower to clear eucalyptus and other debris in a remote bush 
      camp.
