Latex agglutination test of serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were negative, while lymph node biopsy showed Cryptococcus neoformans. A diagnosis of disseminated cryptococcal lymphadenitis was made. Then the patient was treated with amphotericin B for 15 days as initial therapy and itraconazole for 6 months as maintenance therapy respectively. The patient received re-examination per 6 months and was followed up for 2 years. Swollen lymph nodes diminished gradually, and no fever or other symptoms were found. Latex agglutination test of serum and CSF were negative throughout the follow-up period, and anti-HIV, syphilis and tuberculosis antibody were all negative.展开更多

Some tests for the method’s sensitivity, specificity and stability were confirmed. About 200 serum samples were detected by using the method, and these samples were also detected by recombinant N protein based ELISA and IDEXX ELISA kit. The result showed that the agreement ratio of the recombinant N protein based LAT with other two methods arrived at 93%, 78%, respectively.展开更多
