Abstract

Cryptococcus remains an important opportunistic infection in HIV patients despite considerable declines in prevalence during the highly active antiretroviral therapy era. This is particularly apparent in sub-Saharan Africa, where Cryptococcus continues to cause significant mortality and morbidity. This review discusses the microbiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical presentation of cryptococcal infections in HIV patients. Additionally, a detailed approach to the management of cryptococcosis is provided.
