Long term survival among HIV-infected persons with cryptococcosis in Uganda.
The Kaplan-Meier survival curve displays the long term survival of 25 asymptomatic persons who tested positive for serum cryptococcal antigen (CRAG+) treated with fluconazole and ART compared to 189 symptomatic patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM) treated with amphotericin B induction and then fluconazole consolidation therapy and then ART. Diamonds represent censored data. Persons were right-hand censored if they were still living at the time of analysis (n = 82), if they transferred their care to another clinic (n = 7), or if they were lost to follow up (n = 9).
