[Ambulatory therapy and prevention of the most frequent HIV-associated opportunistic infections].
Earlier diagnosis and improved therapies for the opportunistic infections have led to improved quality of life as well as survival time of patients with advanced HIV-related immunodeficiency. Most of the therapies can be administered on an outpatient basis. Outpatient treatment further contributes to improving the quality of life of the patients. Presentation, clinical aspects, treatment and prophylaxis of the five most frequent opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients with advanced immunodeficiency in our outpatient clinic (oral and esophageal candidiasis, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, herpes zoster, herpes simplex virus infection and cerebral toxoplasmosis) are discussed with respect to the practical implications.
