Abstract:
The greater mortality risk among people with advanced human
immunodeficiency virus disease and cryptococcal antigenemia,
despite treatment, indicates an increased susceptibility to
other infections. We found that prior tuberculosis was an
independent risk factor for cryptococcal antigenemia
(adjusted odds ratio, 2.72; 95% confidence interval, 1.13–6.52;
P=.03) among patients with CD4 counts ,100 cells/μL.
