Host and fungal factors both contribute to cryptococcosis-associated hyperammonemia (cryptammonia)

ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are both known urease producers and have the potential to cause hyperammonemia. We hypothesized that the risk of hyperammonemia is increased by renal failure, burden of cryptococcal infection, and fungal strain characteristics. We performed a...
