Quality of life of HIV-negative, previously healthy individuals following cryptococcal meningoencephalitis

Abstract The morbidity and mortality of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CM) in previously healthy, HIV-negative individuals is increasingly recognized. We administered a healthcare associated quality of life (QOL) survey to the largest longitudinally followed cohort of these patients in the United...
