Fourteen clinical cases of meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans were studied and confirmed by means of different procedures in our laboratory over a period of four years. Positive results by direct examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were obtained in 75%: 67% were positive by cultures and 84.6% when both systems were performed simultaneously. When the latex agglutination test was performed to detect C. neoformans antigen, the test was positive in 100% of CSF and only 83.3% on serum. We were able to demostrate serum antibodies only en 43% of the patients using indirect immunofluorescence. Clinical and serological follow up of three patients and serological in one, allowed us to confirm the usefulness of latex agglutination test in ...
