FAQ
What is the pathophysiology of a cryptococcal infection?
Upon inhalation, Cryptococcus can spread throughout the body and often settles in the brain and its surrounding membranes, causing small multiple lesions. In some cases, there may be visible granulomas or larger brain lesions. While lung involvement is generally harmless, cryptococcal meningitis is a serious condition that requires urgent and thorough treatment to save lives.
What other organisms provide a false positive test result for the cryptococcal antigen test?
Infection with Trichosporon species can result in cross-reaction and false positive test results.
What other tests are recommended if the cryptococcal antigen test comes back positive?
If the Cryptococcal antigen test comes back positive, a healthcare provider may recommend other tests like Culturing of the cryptococcus from the cerebrospinal fluid to confirm the infection.
