| Title: | The detrimental effects of oral vancomycin |
| Abstract: | The article explores Heather and Raizes on our recent publication with interest. Given that this was one of the first studies to determine cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) prevalence among individuals with suspected antiretroviral therapy (ART) with a viral load (VL) >1000 copies/mL in the public health system in Uganda, the conclusions we draw may have been overstated in relation to implementing this guidance for country programs. |
