Abstract:
Antibody immunity has not been studied in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) with cryptococcosis. We determined serum antibody levels in OTRs: 23 cryptococcosis cases and 21 controls. Glucuronoxylomannan immunoglobulin M (IgM) and laminarin IgM were lower in cases than controls, were inversely associated with cryptococcosis status, and may hold promise as markers of cryptococcosis.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
