In 2 large health insurance claims databases, cryptococcosis prevalence was 3.4 cases per 100 000 commercially insured patients and 6.5 per 100 000 Medicaid patients. Prevalence was higher among males, non-Hispanic Black patients, and residents of the Southern United States, likely reflecting the disproportionate burden of HIV in these populations.
在两个大型医疗保险理赔数据库中,隐球菌病的患病率为每10万名商业保险患者中有3.4例,每10万名医疗补助患者中有6.5例。男性、非西班牙裔黑人患者以及美国南部居民中的患病率更高,这可能反映出这些人群中艾滋病毒负担过重的情况。
