Performance of Cryptococcal Antigen Lateral Flow Assay Using Saliva in Ugandans with CD4 <100
BACKGROUND: Cryptococcal meningitis can best be diagnosed by cerebrospinal fluid India ink microscopy, cryptococcal antigen detection, or culture. These require invasive lumbar punctures. The utility of cryptococcal antigen detection in saliva is unknown. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of t...
