A 64-year-old man presented with progressive dyspnea. The symptom of severe hypoxia requiring mechanical ventilator, and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on the chest film led to the clinical diagnosis of adult respiratory distress syndrome. Autopsy demonstrated widespread cryptococci and mucinous material in alveoli with mild inflammatory response.
