  • Title: Update on opportunistic infections.
    Journal: Proj Inf Perspect; 1997 Nov; (23):16-7. PubMed ID: 11365373.
    Abstract:
    The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can be effective for reducing the first onset of opportunistic infections (OIs) and preventing their recurrence. While clinical studies are trying to determine the relationship between HAART and delayed recurrence, it is recommended that patients currently on HAART for OI prevention and maintenance not stop the therapy. Updates are presented for the following topics: pneumonia vaccination, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) prevention, Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) prevention, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), and hepatitis C.
