Cryptococcal meningitis in non-HIV patients in the State of Amazonas, Northern Brazil

Summary: Cryptococcosis is a life-threatening fungal infection primarily seen in HIV/AIDS patients, but also occurs in non-HIV patients. A study analyzed non-HIV patients diagnosed with cryptococcosis, finding that most patients presented with cryptococcal meningitis and had comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and intestinal tuberculosis. Antifungal treatment showed satisfactory inhibitory activity against the isolatedC. gattiiVGII strains.

Summary: The study conducted MITS and complete autopsies on 164 deceased PLHIV, revealing that tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, bacterial infections, and cryptococcosis were leading causes of death in adults. The accuracy of MITS in identifying the microorganism causing death was 89%, suggesting its potential in monitoring causes of death and identifying gaps in infection management among PLHIV.
