[Morphological observation of the endogenous endophthalmitis of cryptococcus neoformans].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the pathologic change of the endogenous endophthalmitis of cryptococcus neoformans.


METHODS
Light and electron microscope were used.


RESULTS
The choroid was focally tumor-like by an inflammatory cells infiltrate, which consisted of multinucleated gicant, epithelioid cells and lymphocytes. Special stains (Grocott's methnamine silver, PAS, alcian blue) and electron microscope disclosed the budding form of cryptococcus neoformans.


CONCLUSIONS
The morphologic examinations are only an effectivel method of diagrosing the endogenous endophthalmitis of cryptococcus neoformans.
