“…Although there are few reports regarding the incidence and prevalence of cryptococcosis in the region, studies from Brazil and Colombia have reported an average annual incidence from 2.4 to 4.5 cases of meningeal cryptococcosis per million inhabitants, in the general population, and 3000 to 3300 cases per million HIV-infected people [ 5 , 6 ]. In reports from Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela, cryptococcosis has had a prevalence from 10 to 76% among the most frequent mycosis [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In addition, the mortality ranges between 30 and 60% of cases, although, in Brazil, it has been reported to be as high as 73% [ 13 ].…”

“…2016 ). In Colombia, Castro-Jiménez et al (2011) reported cryptococcosis as the most common opportunistic mycosis in patients with HIV/AIDS, with a prevalence of 76%. In the same population in Guatemala, it was estimated that meningeal cryptococcosis is the fourth most common opportunistic fungal infection following candidiasis (esophageal), Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and disseminated histoplasmosis ( Medina et al 2017 ).…”

“…La población de estudio estuvo conformada por una elevada proporción de adultos y hombres como se expuso anteriormente, lo que resulta diferente a los promedios nacionales, donde predomina la detección de VIH/SIDA en jóvenes entre los 20 y 30 años, con cerca del 80% de los casos en hombres (2). Además, un estudio previo en 33 personas con VIH atendidas en hospitales de Bogotá, Norte de Santander, Risaralda y Bolívar registró una mayor proporción (75%) de personas con edad entre 23 y 42 años 10 , lo que daría cuenta de la necesidad de disponer de datos de cada institución, dadas sus diferencias sociodemográficas.…”

“…En este estudio, el segundo agente con mayor frecuencia fue Cryptocuccus spp. donde la especie más prevalente es C. neoformans, como se indicó en el estudio del grupo de Castro en Colombia realizado con 336 pacientes con VIH de dos instituciones médicas de Bogotá; a partir de muestras respiratorias, líquido cefalorraquídeo, sangre y raspado de lesión orofaríngea se reportó un 9,8% de positividad para al menos unas de las micosis evaluadas con 3,0% de H. capsulatum, 3,0% P. brasiliensis, 75,0% C. neoformans y 21,2% Candida spp 10 . Se debe tener presente que en Estados Unidos se han descrito casos de infección por Cryptococcus gattii 16 , lo que evidencia retos para el correcto diagnóstico y orientación terapéutica adecuada.…”
