Abstract
- We have described a patient with AIDS and cryptococcal antigen titers of 1:262,144 in CSF and 1:268,435,456 in serum. Although the prognosis is poor in AIDS patients with high cryptococcal antigen titers, this patient responded well to treatment and has been free of clinical recurrence of cryptococcal infection for 2 years.
