Hemos leido con atencion las apreciaciones de Rengifo y cols respecto a nuestra investigacion sobre dengue y etnia. La mayoria de sus observaciones apuntan hacia la clasificacion de etnia en el diseno del estudio; donde reconocemos una gran dificultad para establecer la categoria de afrodescendiente a cada uno de los individuos. Algunas propuestas para clasificar la etnia en poblaciones latinoamericanas con base en pruebas geneticas y biologicas han mostrado un gran mestizaje que dificulta la clasificacion1. El metodo de la auto reconocimiento de la etnia es imperfecto como lo advertimos en la metodologia de nuestro estudio; pero valido para la comunidad cientifica en este momento, mientras se propongan otros metodos eficientes, mas confiables y robustos2, 3.

Abstract Introduction: Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection whose etiology is Cryptococcus neofromans / C. gattii, complex which affects immunocompromised patients mainly. Meningeal infection is one of the most common presentations, but cerebellar affection is rare. Case Description: Male patient with 65 old years, from an area of subtropical climate with chronic exposure to poultry, without pathological antecedents, who presented clinical picture consistent with headache, fever, seizures and altered mental status. Clinical findings and diagnostic methods: Initially without menigeal signs or intracranial hypertension and normal neurological examination. Later, the patient developed ataxia, dysdiadochokinesia and limb loss. By lumbar punction and image of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) cerebellitis cryptococcal was diagnosticated. Treatment: Antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and fluconazole was performed, however the patient died. Clinical Relevance: The cryptococcosis has different presentations, it´s a disease whose incidence has been increasing since the advent of the HIV / AIDS pandemy, however the commitment of the encephalic parenchyma and in particular the cerebellum is considered rare. In this way we are facing the first case of cryptococcal cerebellitis in our midst.

In 2015, the journal Science chose CRISPR-Cas9 technology as the most important technological advance of science in the last years1. This magazine announced the beginning of a new era of biotechnology in which it would be possible to edit, correct and modify the genetic information of any cell in a feasible, fast and cheap way; and most importantly, with high precision. Its implementation in research laboratories in basic and applied sciences could help to develop therapeutic strategies for the health area with the main objective of healing diseases with a known genetic origin, and that until now have been impossible to cure.
