Title Cross-reactivity in Cryptococcus antigen latex agglutination test in two commercial kits.
Journal Med Mycol
Abstract This article presents an examination of the cross-reactivity of pathogenic fungi with Cryptococcus neoformans in two commercial Cryptococcus antigen latex agglutination tests performed across 39 fungal strains. Some fungi were newly indicated as Cryptococcus cross-reactive, and the two kits showed differences in cross-reactive fungi.
