There are approximately 1 million cryptococcal infections per year among HIV+ individuals, resulting in nearly 625,000 deaths.Cryptococcus neoformansandCryptococcus gattiiare the two most common species that cause human cryptococcosis. These two species ofCryptococcushave differences in pathogenicity, diagnosi...
Nucleic acid probes are described for detecting yeasts capable of causing cryptococcosis, specifically Cryptococcus neoformans. The preferred probes are complementary to the ribosomal ribonucleic acid
Cryptococcus is an infective fungal disease presenting in immunocompromised individuals, especially those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. While the most common manifestation of the disease is papilledema due to involvement of the central nervous system, it can occasionally result in intra...
