Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite efforts to optimize therapy for HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis (CM), survival outcomes remain poor. It is unclear how the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cellular immune phenotype and activation contribute to 2-week and 1-year survival following CM. METHODS: We compared baseline CSF mononuclear cell phenotype and activation among adults with HIV-associated CM who died within 2 weeks of CM...
