Missing infections in AIDS
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg.
1990.
Abstract
In north America and Europe, the opportunistic infections from which patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) frequently suffer are Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare: in central Africa these infections are uncommon or non-existent. Serious infections with Entamoeba histolytica and Strongyloides stercoralis would be expected to occur in AIDS patients: they do not. Falciparum malaria might be expected to interact with HIV infection: it does not. The epidemiology and pathophysiology of these infections are discussed with respect to HIV co-infection.
