Abstract

Among 1107 cryptococcosis cases from the French surveillance network (2005–2020), the proportion of HIV-seronegative individuals has recently surpassed that of HIV-seropositive individuals. We observed marked differences in patient characteristics, disease presentations, cryptococcal antigen results, infecting species, and mortality according to HIV serostatus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
