Overview
The prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia among patients with HIV in the United States is approximately 2.9%. The overall incidence is estimated to be 0.4 to 1.3 cases per 100,000 population yearly in the United States. Cryptococcosis has no age, gender, or race predilection.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia in the general population is unknown. Given the low incidence in the general population, it is thought to be very low.
- Among HIV patients in the United States, the prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia is approximately 2.9%, indicating that the prevalence of cryptococcal infection may be high enough to consider targeted screening for HIV patients.[1]
Incidence
- Nationally representative estimates for the incidence of cryptococcosis are difficult to establish because cryptococcosis is only reportable in a few states.
- Results from active, population-based surveillance in two US locations in the year 2000 indicated that the annual incidence of cryptococcosis among persons with AIDS was between 2 and 7 cases per 1,000
- The overall incidence is estimated to be 0.4 to 1.3 cases per 100,000 population yearly in the United States.[2]
- C. neoformans is a major cause of illness in people living with HIV/AIDS, with an estimated 1 million cases of cryptococcal meningitis occurring worldwide each year.[1][3]
Age, Gender, and Race
Cryptococcosis has no age, gender, or race predilection.[1]
