Blood vessel occlusion by <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> is a mechanism for haemorrhagic dissemination of infection

Abstract excerpt

Meningitis caused by infectious pathogens are associated with vessel damage and infarct formation, however the physiological cause is unknown. Cryptococcus neoformans , is a human fungal pathogen and causative agent of cryptococcal meningitis, where vascular events are observed in up to 30% of cases, predominantly in severe infection. Therefore, we aimed to investigate how infection may lead to vessel damage and...
