The type and course of opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS or high-risk HIV infection have changed through the years as a result of therapeutic intervention. Although Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is still the most common and serious infection, its incidence is declining at the same time that other AIDS-defining illnesses are on the rise. Dr Hughes examines the management of major opportunistic infections and also of tuberculosis, which is becoming more prevalent in association with HIV infection.
