Article Synopsis
- New antiretroviral agents and prophylaxis schedules have improved survival and quality of life for HIV-infected patients, leading to significant changes in the occurrence of opportunistic infections.
- Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) used to affect 12-80% of HIV-infected children, leading to high mortality rates, but the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly reduced these cases.
- Despite these advancements, many patients in developing countries still lack access to ART, which puts them at greater risk for opportunistic infections like PCP, particularly impacting their life expectancy.
