Both, species identification testing fluconazole-FLC, voriconazole-VRC, amphotericin B-AmB carried out using Vitek 2. To discriminate C. parapsilosis complex, RAPD-PCR...
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia detected by lateral flow assay (LFA) in AIDS patients and its accuracy diagnosis cryptococcosis. Conducted at a university hospital Brazil from March 2015 July 2017, it included over 18 years old with CD4+ count ≤ 200 cells/mm3. Cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) detection using LFA latex agglutination (LA), along blood urine cultures, were performed. The reference standard was identification Cryptococcus spp. clinical...
