Resumo: The objective of this article was to evaluate the epidemiology of cryptococcal meningitis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, from 1994 to 2004. Six hundred and ninety-six cases of cryptococcal meningitis were reported, with a mean incidence of 0.45 per 100,000 inhabitants. Patients were predominantly male; mean age was 35.9 years; AIDS was practically the only underlying disease, reported in 61.2% of cases; case-fatality was 51.8%. No decline in incidence was observed during the study period. AIDS is the main predisposing condition for cryptococcal meningitis, and thus the profile of most patients mirrors that of HIV infection. Missing information prevented the evaluation of other underlying diseases.

Um total de 696 casos novos foi registrado, representando uma taxa de incidência média anual de 0,45 casos por 100 mil habitantes. Houve predominância do sexo masculino, a média de idade foi de 35,9 anos, a AIDS foi praticamente a única enfermidade preexistente registrada, estando presente em 61,2% do total de pacientes, e a letalidade foi de 51,8%. No período estudado, a taxa de incidência manteve-se estável. A AIDS ainda é a principal condição predisponente e, assim, o perfil da maioria dos pacientes acompanha o daqueles infectados pelo HIV. A avaliação de outras doenças preexistentes ficou prejudicada pela falta de informação.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2008-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3634Reports in Public Health; Vol. 24 No. 11 (2008): NovemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 24 n. 11 (2008): Novembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3634/7363https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3634/7364Leimann, Beatriz Consuelo QuinetKoifman, Rosalina Jorgeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:43Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/3634Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:04:10.538646Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
