Cytokine dynamics in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of HIV/AIDS patients with cryptococcal meningitis receiving antifungal therapy
Cytokines derived from innate immune cells play a central role in host defense against HIV-associated cryptococcal infections. The observed reductions in cytokine levels in both plasma and CSF after antifungal therapy provide new insights into the immune response in HCM, highlighting the dynamic interplay of immune factors during treatment.
