A member asked:
Can a cryptococcus gattii infection in a human be asymptomatic for years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The fungus had previously affected only people with weakened immune systems. It is absorbed through the lungs and the symptoms of infection, which can appear two to several months after exposure, can include chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, fever and a cough lasting weeks.
