Screening for cryptococcal antigenemia and analyzsis of the related cryptococcal lesions in hospitalized human immunodeficiency virus infected patients
Objective
To evaluate the prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia and explore the related cryptococcal lesions in hospitalized human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients.
Methods
Medical records of 517 HIV-infected patients, including patients' age, sex, clinical features, previous medical history, laboratory tests, chest CT, treatment and the response to treatment, in the Second Hospital of the Nanjing between January 2016 and February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The serum cryptococcal antigen (sCrAg) was detected by lateral flow immunoassay. The χ2 test or Fisher exact test was used to perform the statistical analysis.
Results
Among 517 HIV-infected cases, 51 were sCrAg positive, of whom 96.1% (49 cases) were men. The cases with CD4+ T lymphocyte count <100×106 cells/L accounted for 66.2% (342 cases), while 90.2% (46 cases) in sCrAg-positive patients showed CD4+ T lymphocyte count <100×106 cells/L with statistical significance (χ2=14.6, P<0.01). Multivariable analysis revealed that CD4+ T lymphocyte count <100 ×106 cells/L was independent risk factor for cryptococcal antigenemia (OR=4.7; 95%CI: 1.8-12.5, P<0.01). Clinical cryptococcal diseases were found in 76.4% (39/51) of patients with cryptococcal antigenemia, and cryptococcal meningitis (CM), pulmonary cyptococcosis (PC) and cryptococcal septicemia were found in 56% (28/50), 52.9% (27/51) and 44.4% (16/36) of the patients, respectively. Cryptoccal disease was not identified in 21.6% (11/51) of the patients with cryptococcal antigenemia (isolated cryptococcal antigenemia). The median (range) sCrAg titers of the patients with and without CM were 1∶1 280 (1∶10-1∶2 560) and 1: 15 (1∶2-1∶2 560), respectively (P<0.01). The proportion of CM in patients with sCrAg titers ≤1∶5, 1∶10-1∶320 and ≥1∶640 were 0 (0/10), 50% (10/20) and 90% (18/20), respectively. When cryptococcal infection was restricted to the lung, 87.5% (7/8) of the patients had sCrAg titers ≤1∶20. 30% (3/10) of the patients with sCrAg titers ≤1∶5 had PC. The median (range) sCrAg titers of the patients with cryptococcal septicemia and with isolated cryptococcal antigenemia were 1∶1 280 (1∶10-1∶2 560) and 1∶5 (1∶2-1∶320), respectively.
Conclusions
The prevalence of cryptococcal antigenmia is high in hospitalized HIV-infected patients. Most patients with cryptococcal antigenemia have developed cryptococcal diseases. The sCrAg titer in HIV patients may, in some extend, predicts the condition of cryptococcal infection. sCrAg titers ≥1∶640 are strongly suggestive of CM. Patients with sCrAg titers ≤1∶5 seems unlikely to have CM or cryptococcal septicemia, however, clinician should still be alarmed of possible PC.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases was founded in February 1983. It is an academic journal on infectious diseases supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by the Shanghai Medical Association. The journal targets infectious disease physicians as its main readers, taking into account physicians of other interdisciplinary disciplines, and timely reports on leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the field of infectious diseases, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in the clinical practice of infectious diseases and is closely integrated with the actual clinical practice of infectious diseases. Columns include reviews (including editor-in-chief reviews), expert lectures, consensus and guidelines (including interpretations), monographs, short monographs, academic debates, epidemic news, international dynamics, case reports, reviews, lectures, meeting minutes, etc.
