Abstract
We would like to thank you for the comments regarding our recent article: Cryptococcal antigenemia among severely immunosuppressed HIV-infected adults. In response to your comment: Sir, the recent report on ‘‘Prevalence and factors associated with cryptococcal antigenemia among severely immunosuppressed HIV-infected adults in Uganda’’ is very interesting. Oyella et al. concluded that ‘‘Independent predictors of positive serum cryptococcal antigenemia were CD4+ T cell counts of less than 50 cells/mm, low body mass index, neck pain, signs of meningeal irritation, and a recent diagnosis of HIV infection’’. This work is a cross sectional study, not a case-control study; hence, there might be some bias on assessment of risk factor. (Published: 2 August 2012) Citation: Oyella J et al.
