Article Synopsis
- The burden of cryptococcosis in Guangdong, China, is significant, but the specifics of the disease's characteristics and molecular epidemiology in the region remain unclear.
- A study gathered 84 clinical strains from six medical centers, primarily affecting young to middle-aged males, with most cases involving pulmonary and cerebral infections.
- The strains showed low susceptibility to antifungal medications like voriconazole and posaconazole, but significant resistance was noted for fluconazole and 5-fluorocytosine, with a majority being homogeneous in molecular type, predominantly the variant ST5.
