TL;DR: Emphasis has been placed on potential complications in management of cryptococcal infection, including increased intracranial pressure, immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), drug resistance, and cryptococcomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective observational study of candidemia: epidemiology, therapy, and influences on mortality in hospitalized adult and pediatric patients.

TL;DR: Subjects in the observational cohort had higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores than did participants in the clinical trial, which suggests that the former subjects are more often excluded from therapeutic trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: For the initial treatment of AIDS-associated cryptococcal meningitis, the use of higher-dose amphotericin B plus flucytosine is associated with an increased rate of cerebrospinal fluid sterilization and decreased mortality at two weeks, as compared with regimens used in previous studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Samuel A. Shelburne,Fehmida Visnegarwala,Jorge Darcourt,Edward A. Graviss,Thomas P. Giordano,A. Clinton White,Richard J. Hamill,Richard J. Hamill +7 more
TL;DR: IRIS is common among HIV-infected persons coinfected with M. tuberculosis, M. avium complex, or C. neoformans and patients who start HAART in close proximity to the diagnosis of an opportunistic infection and have a rapid decline in HIV-1 RNA level should be monitored for development of this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A case study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patients with cryptococcosis at 15 United States medical centers from 1990 through 1996 to understand the demographics, therapeutic approach, and factors associated with poor prognosis in this population as discussed by the authors.
