| Core Tip |
Cryptococcosis is a pulmonary or disseminated infectious disease caused by Cryptococcus, which mainly causes pneumonia and meningitis, but also skin, bone or internal organs infection. the three major cryptococcal antigen detection technologies, latex agglutination test, lateral flow assay and Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, have certain limitations. Although these techniques do not often lead to false-positive results, once this result occurs in a particular group of patients (such as human immunodeficiency virus patients), it might lead to severe consequences. Therefore, once the test results are inconsistent with the clinical symptoms, it is necessary to reexamine the samples carefully. |
