Cryptococcal Meningitis Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

Expert Market Research's “Cryptococcal Meningitis Epidemiology Forecast Report 2026-2035” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of cryptococcal meningitis. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of cryptococcal meningitis across various populations. The study covers age and type as major determinants of the cryptococcal meningitis-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of cryptococcal meningitis over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

Cryptococcal Meningitis: Disease Overview

Cryptococcal meningitis is a serious fungal infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. It is caused by the fungus Cryptococcus (commonly Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii). The infection is frequently seen in people with weakened immune systems, such as HIV/AIDS patients. Immunosuppressive treatments (chemotherapy, organ transplants, or long-term steroid use) and environmental exposure are also risk factors of the disease.

Cryptococcal Meningitis: Treatment Overview

The treatment of cryptococcal meningitis typically involves a combination of antifungal medications, which is administered for several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the infection and the patient's immune status. The treatment plan is often started with amphotericin B, which is administered intravenously for severe cases, followed by fluconazole for a longer duration to prevent recurrence. In some cases, additional medications may be required to manage symptoms like pain or fever.

Epidemiology

The cryptococcal meningitis epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for cryptococcal meningitis by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for cryptococcal meningitis and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• Around 1 million cases of cryptococcal meningitis are reported each year. The widespread use of corticosteroids and improved survival rates in cancer patients are contributing to the growing incidence of the disease.
• Approximately 152,000 cases of cryptococcal meningitis occur each year worldwide among HIV affected individuals.
• Cryptococcal meningitis is rare in immunocompetent patients, but some reports suggest that up to 20% of cases occur in people with a healthy immune system.
• Cryptococcal meningitis is responsible for an estimated 112,000 deaths annually in people living with HIV, with the majority occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.
