We are an International Multi-Organizational Coalition addressing gaps in the prevention, prompt diagnosis and management of AIDS globally.
Cryptococcal meningitis is the most common cause of adult meninigitis in high prevalence of HIV populations and causes 15-20% of HIV-related deaths globally, with the highest incidence occuring in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this significant disease burden, it remains a neglected disease.
This repository is a central source of epidemiologic data, as well as guidelines for diagnosis and management, related to Cryptococcal meningitis. By sharing this data in an open-source, easily-accessible manner, we hope to improve outcomes in areas with a high incidence of Cryptococcal meningitis, as well as serving as a high yield resource for clinicians managing these patients in any setting.
