Assessing the virulence of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> causing meningitis in HIV infected and uninfected patients in Vietnam

2017-09-15

Abstract excerpt

We previously observed a substantial burden of cryptococcal meningitis in Vietnam atypically arising in HIV-uninfected individuals. This disease was associated with a single genotype of Cryptococcus neoformans (Sequence Type (ST)5), which was significantly less common in HIV-infected individuals. Aiming to compare the phenotypic characteristics of ST5 and non-ST5 C. neoformans we selected 30 representative Vietna...
