BACKGROUND: The incidence of cryptococcosis amongst HIV-negative persons is increasing. Whilst the excellent performance of the CrAg testing in people living with HIV is well described, the diagnostic performance of the CrAg LFA has not been systematically evaluated in HIV-negative cohorts on serum or cerebrospinal fluid.
METHODS: We performed a systematic review to characterise the diagnostic performance of IMMY CrAg® LFA in HIV-negative populations on serum and cerebrospinal fluid. A systematic electronic search was performed using Medline, Embase, Global Health, CENTRAL, WoS Science Citation Index, SCOPUS, Africa-Wide Information, LILACS and WHO Global Health Library. Studies were screened and data extracted from eligible studies by two independent reviewers. A fixed effect meta-analysis was used to estimate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.
RESULTS: Of 447 records assessed for eligibility, nine studies met our inclusion criteria, including 528 participants overall. Amongst eight studies that evaluated the diagnostic performance of the IMMY CrAg® LFA on serum, the pooled median sensitivity was 96% (95% Credible Interval (CrI) 68-100%) with a pooled specificity estimate of 96% (95%CrI 84-100%). Amongst six studies which evaluated the diagnostic performance of IMMY CrAg® LFA on CSF, the pooled median sensitivity was 99% (95%CrI 95-100%) with a pooled specificity median of 99% (95%CrI 95-100%).
CONCLUSIONS: This review demonstrates a high pooled sensitivity and specificity for the IMMY CrAg® LFA in HIV-negative populations, in keeping with findings in HIV-positive individuals. The review was limited by the small number of studies. Further studies using IMMY CrAg® LFA in HIV-negative populations would help to better determine the diagnostic value of this test.
