Evaluation of Clinical Profile, Diagnostic Tests, And Prognosis of Cryptococcal Meningitis in HIV Infected Patients in Western India.

CONCLUSION: Cryptococcal meningitis is a potentially lethal infection in immunocompromised individuals and should be diagnosed early with high clinical suspicion as around 10% of the cases may not be detected on India ink staining and a large proportion (75%) of cases may have normal imaging at initial evaluation. Early diagnosis, watchful eye on prognostic factors and treatment is vital to improve outcome in these patients. PMID: 32416706 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
