However, there are usually enough clues that allow the cytopathologist to accurately distinguish between (or offer a differential diagnosis) the 4 most common of these fungi: Histoplasma capsulatum, Cryptococcus neoformans, Blastomyces dermatitidis, and Coccidioides immitis. As with all lower respiratory tract pathogens, integration of clinical, pathologic, radiographic, and individual patient risk factors is critical to establish a definitive diagnosis of disease.
