Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Clinical and Laboratory Findings in Cryptococcal Meningitis: A Follow-up Study of Forty Patients
Abstract
BEFORE the introduction of amphotericin B in 1956 cryptococcal meningitis was almost always fatal, three quarters of the patients dying during the first year of illness.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Occasionally, progression of the disease was interrupted by temporary remissions12; nevertheless, survival for longer than three years was unusual. Since amphotericin B has come into use, however, improvement and recovery have been described in a number of cases.13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 In the present report 40 cases of cryptococcal meningitis seen at the National Institutes of Health will be reviewed, particular attention being given to symptoms and cerebrospinal-fluid and cultural findings before treatment and the relation . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
