Presentation
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection usually presents with a wide range of manifestations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
Long-term corticotherapy represents a risk for Pneumocystis pneumonia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1998 to 2006, seven patients hospitalized in our Liver Intensive Care Unit for severe alcoholic hepatitis had a diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The spectrum of diseases were Tuberculosis 76%, bacterial pneumonia 56%, preumosystis carini pneumonia 30%) Aspergillosis 4% especially in patients with multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis, cryptococcosis 2%. [aspergillus.org.uk]
Twenty-three cases of opportunistic infection in patients receiving low dose methotrexate have been reported previously, with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia being the most common infection (10 of 23, 43%). [atsjournals.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Arthritis
Two patients receiving low dose methotrexate, one with rheumatoid arthritis and the other with pityriasis rubra pilaris, developed disseminated histoplasmosis and Mycobacterium avium intracellulare pneumonia, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Search terms included "(rheumatoid AND arthritis)", "randomized", "(infliximab OR etanercept OR adalimumab OR certolizumab OR golimumab OR anakinra OR abatacept OR tocilizumab OR rituximab)" for both databases. [kaypahoito.fi]
Our researchers are learning the causes of autoimmunity at the cellular and molecular levels, and they are developing new treatments for people with these disorders, including scleroderma, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. [fredhutch.org]
- Myalgia
Abstract We report on a 69-year-old woman who presented with myalgia, hearing impairment, fever, night sweats, weight loss, muscular weakness, paresthesia, hypesthesia, and hypalgesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
The epidemiologic data do not suggest that the condition is caused by a transmissible agent. Unlike HIV infection, the decrease in the CD4 cell counts of patients with ICL is often slow. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The establishment of the etiologic agent can be problematic, especially when opportunistic bacteria are present, suggesting contamination of clinical material. [medmikro.org]
Workup
Microbiology
- Streptococcus Pneumoniae
pneumoniae Streptococcus pyogenes Toxoplasma gondii Causes [ edit ] Immunodeficiency or immunosuppression can be caused by: Malnutrition Fatigue Recurrent infections Immunosuppressing agents for organ transplant recipients Advanced HIV infection Chemotherapy [en.wikipedia.org]
However, there were reports of infections involving other unusual sites such as inferior gluteal artery aneurysm by non-typhi Salmonella [ 66 ] and common iliac artery by Streptococcus pneumoniae [ 67 ]. [alliedacademies.org]
Infections caused by other bacteria Recommendations for the treatment of bacterial respiratory infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, less prevalent bacteria ( Haemophilus influenzae type b, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus ), [elsevier.es]
Treatment
For the simultaneous treatment, IVIG-CPM was added to Pred/CsA by means of infusion of IVIG on five consecutive days per month, followed by CPM infusion on the ninth day after the last IVIG administration. The treatment was repeated for four months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Stop fingolimod treatment if a patient develops a serious infection; before restarting fingolimod treatment: ensure the infection has resolved carefully balance the benefit of fingolimod treatment against the risk of another infection Fingolimod can [gov.uk]
Common prophylaxis treatments include the following: [11] Treatment [ edit ] Treatment depends on the type of opportunistic infection, but usually involves different antibiotics. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
Low CSF viral load and a specific cellular immune response in blood and CSF are associated with a better prognosis. Among HIV-infected patients, mortality is greater in those who have CD4+ cells/μL. [elsevier.es]
Expectations (prognosis) Right now, there is no cure for AIDS. It is always fatal without treatment. In the U.S., most patients survive many years after diagnosis because of the availability of HAART. [aidsanditscure.blogspot.com]

Etiology
Identification of a viral etiology in patients with atypical ANCA-associated vasculitides may lead to different, less aggressive treatment approaches, including antiviral therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The establishment of the etiologic agent can be problematic, especially when opportunistic bacteria are present, suggesting contamination of clinical material. [medmikro.org]
However, the variability of host-etiological agent interactions and difficulties in the diagnosis of some OIs contribute to a lack of data that demonstrate consistent evidence of the effects of OIs (7) (10). [scielo.br]
Epidemiology
We discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of C. pelliculosa, a non-albicans species which is rarely associated with disease, and review current literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
