Presentation
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection usually presents with a wide range of manifestations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Other Pathologies
- Fibrinoid Necrosis
Sural nerve biopsy showed demyelinative and axonal polyneuropathy due to necrotizing vasculitis with fibrinoid necrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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]
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]
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]
