PMID: 25755893
New Microbes New Infect. 2014 Dec 19;4:1-4. doi: 10.1016/j.nmni.2014.12.003. eCollection 2015 Mar.

Detection of cryptococcal antigen in serum or cerebrospinal fluid allows cryptococcal meningitis diagnosis within few hours with >90% sensitivity. In an HIV-positive patient with Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis, initial antigen detection by immunoagglutination was negative. We thus evaluated a new...

Guidelines for reporting results of quality of life assessments in clinical trials.

Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation
