Yamaguchi, H. Ikemoto, K. Watanabe, A. Ito, K. Hara, S. Kohno] Treatment with 200 to 400 mg/day fluconazole was evaluated in 44 patients without AIDS who had cryptococcosis (19 with cryptococcal meningitis, 22 with pulmonary cryptococcosis, 3 with other cryptococcal infections). For all patients, the clinical response rate was 89% (48% were clinically cured and 41 % clinically improved). Of the patients with cryptococcal meningitis, 89% were mycologically cured. These rates are comparable to those obtained in the treatment of AIDS patients with cryptococcal disease. In the group of patients with cryptococcal meningitis, there was a high rate of agreement between the mycological response to therapy and cryptococcal antigen test results. The use of cryptococcal antigen testing is recommended in all patients with cryptococcosis. Springer-Verlag, 1996 Yamaguchi H.
