Potential missed opportunities for diagnosis of cryptococcosis and the association with mortality: a cohort study.
Cryptococcosis is one of the most common life-threatening opportunistic mycoses worldwide. Insidious presentation and slow onset of symptoms make it difficult to recognize, complicating the diagnostic process. Delays in diagnosis may lead to increased mortality. In this study, the investigators aimed to determine the frequency of missed opportunities for diagnosis of cryptococcosis and its effects on mortality.
