Comparison of Cryptococcus typing based on AFLP genotyping and CDBT media

Cryptococcus species	Typing methods		Diagnostic accuracy
Cryptococcus species	CDBT (test)	AFLP (gold standard)	Diagnostic accuracy
C. neoformans sensu lato	51 (77.3%)	55 (83.3%)	Sensitivity = 100%; C.I. (92.7–100%) PPV= 93.9%; C.I. (84.4 – 98.0%) Specificity = 33.3%; C.I. (6.0–75.9%) NPV = 100%; C.I. (19.8 – 100%)
C. gattii sensu lato	15 (22.7%)	11 (16.7%)
Total isolates	66 (100%)	66 (100%)

C.I. = confidence interval, NPV =Negative predictive value, PPV = Positive predictive value.
