Cryptococcosis infection among HIV patients
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Cryptococcosis is commonly known as a central nervous system infection due to Cryptococcus neoformans. It is one of the most frequent infections in AIDS patients. Disseminated cryptococcosis appears in almost one third of these patients. In this review, we will discuss the clinical presentation of cryptococcal infections among HIV patients and various methods of diagnosis, such as India ink, latex agglutination test and culture.
