Subject: Cryptococcus neoformans

Any information on how this affects those of us

with HIV? Symptoms?

What are the tests needed to diagnose?

Anyone know someone affected by this that can shed some light on it? I hear it

can be deadly to people with HIV/AIDS.

Thanks

I have enclosed a link for C. neoformans that will answer some of your

questions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptococcus_neoformans We

used to use an India Ink prep under the microscope for identification

but there are more methods of identification available. You can enter

Cryptococcus neoformans test into a search engine and find various

articles.
