Cryptococcal meningitis is a cause for cross‐reactivity in cerebrospinal fluid assays for anti‐ Histoplasma, anti ‐Coccidioides and anti‐ Blastomyces antibodies
Abstract
Background/Objectives Antibody detection is commonly used for diagnosis of histoplasmosis, and cross-reactions have been recognised due to endemic mycoses but not cryptococcosis. We observed cross-reactions in an anti-Histoplasma antibody enzyme immunoassay (EIA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a patient with cryptococcal meningitis and sought to assess the risk of cross-reactive anti-Histoplasma antibodies in persons with cryptococcal...
