Epidemiology of Cryptococcosis in France: A 9-Year Survey (1985-1993)
Open accessAbstract
We analyzed the data collected during a nationwide survey of cryptococcosis (1985-1993). We first checked the quality of the survey. The stability of its completeness (approximately 50%) and its representativity were assessed by the capture-recapture method after we cross-checked our data on cryptococcosis (as a presenting manifestation of AIDS) against those of the national registry of AIDS. Of the 1,057 cases of cryptococcosis (1,013 patients), 827 (86%) involved patients with AIDS. The increasing number of cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related cryptococcosis over time paralleled the AIDS epidemic except for a higher male-to-female ratio. Malignancies (32%), organ transplantation (19%), and corticosteroid therapy (33%) were the main predisposing conditions in 163 patients without AIDS. Cryptococcal meningitis more frequently occurred in patients with AIDS than in HIV-negative patients (P < 10(-6)). Among the 413 isolates available for serotyping, 410 were Cryptococcus neoformans variety neoformans (including 20.5% of serotype D). Three isolates of the variety gattii (serotype B) were recovered from patients without AIDS.

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.
