Abstract

Abstract: Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal disease caused by cryptococcosis,it is a common cause of infection and death among AIDS patients and solid organ transplant recipients.In the past ten years, the diagnostic methods for cryptococcosis have ranged from fungal culture and ink staining to the current detection of cryptococcal capsular antigen (CrAg).CrAg detection is simple and fast, inexpensive, high sensitivity and specificity, so it is widely used worldwide.The World Health Organization recommends CrAg screening for high-risk groups and preemptive treatment of CrAg-positive patients to reduce the mortality rate.This article reviews the value of cryptococcal capsularantigendetecting in the diagnosis of cryptococcosis.

Key words: Cryptococcal capsular antigen, Cryptococcosis, Diagnosis
