Otto Busse

Otto Emil Franz Ulrich Busse (pronounced [ˈɔtoː ˈbʊsə] ⓘ; 6 December 1867 – 3 February 1922) was a German pathologist.

Afterwards he moved to Posen (today Poznań, Poland), where in 1904 he became a professor of pathology.

In 1894 Busse was the first to provide a written account of cryptococcosis, caused by a yeast-like fungus now known as Cryptococcus neoformans.

[2][3] Infection caused by the fungus has also been referred to as "Busse-Buschke disease", named in conjunction with dermatologist Abraham Buschke (1868–1943).
