Resumen:
Opportunistic infections continue to be a cause of morbidity and
mortality in HIV-infected patients. They often arise because of severe
immunosuppression resulting from poor adherence to antiretroviral
therapy, failure of antiretroviral therapy, or unawareness of HIV
infection by patients whose first clinical manifestation of AIDS is an
opportunistic infection.
The present article is an executive summary of the document that updates
the previous recommendations on the prevention and treatment of
opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients, namely, infections by
parasites, fungi, viruses, mycobacteria, and bacteria, as well as
imported infections. The article also addresses immune reconstitution
inflammatory syndrome. This document is intended for all professionals
who work in clinical practice in the field of HIV infection. (C) 2016
