A study in a similar setting showed a wide spectrum of pro‐inflammatory protein profile (IFN‐γ, IL‐1β, TNF‐α) and anti‐inflammatory proteins (IL‐10, granulocyte monocytes/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM‐CSF)) being upregulated in CSF during cryptococcal infection.25 This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and cryptococcosis.
