Almost 40 % of patients were first registered already with severe immunosuppression, at the time of death a number of CD4 cells averaged 139,6+13,3 per 1 mcl of serum. There were cases of overdiagnosis of tuberculosis, especially in cases with cryptococcal infection. Complexity of diagnosis of cryptococcosis are demonstrated on the example of a medical case.
