Fungal burden in the cerebrospinal fluid is an important determinant of mortality in cryptococcal meningitis but its use to aid clinical decision-making is hampered by the time involved to perform quantitative cultures. Here we demonstrate the potential of flow cytometry as a novel and rapid technique to address this.
