OBJECTIVE
Cryptococcal meningitis is one of the most important HIV-related opportunistic infections, especially in the developing world. [...] Key MethodMETHODS
We used the median incidence rate of available studies in a geographic region to estimate the region-specific cryptococcal meningitis incidence; this was multiplied by the 2007 United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS HIV population estimate for each region to estimate cryptococcal meningitis cases.Expand Abstract
