ABSTRACT
Sixteen patients with AIDS (6% of the total AIDS patients) who had infection by Cryptococcus neoformans were studied. Most of these patients (94%) had cryptococcal meningitis. Only 50% of the cases showed clinical manifestations of neurological involvement. Blood cultures and antigen level measurement were the diagnostic techniques with best results due to their high percentage of positivity. Sixty nine percent of patients survived the acute phase of the infection and only 3 of those who died in this period showed evidence of active infection patients by the fungus.
