Sorry, try again. This organism would also cause a chronic pneumonia and can also cause meningitis. It is the only human pathogen fungus capable of producing a capsule. Yeast forms would be visible by gram staining of the sputum and acid-fast staining would reveal acid-fast negative yeast cells.

Do you need to go back and look at Helen again?
