[Opportunistic infections in patients under highly concentrated antiretroviral therapy].
VARIABLE RESULTS: The restoration of immunological competence following Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy (HAART) has led to promising results concerning cytomegalovirus viremia, atypical mycobacterium infections, and survival in patients treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The beneficial effect of introducing antiproteases is less clear for other opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis and pyogenic infections.


RESULTS
In patients with a CD4 count above 240/mm3, it would appear possible to stop primary prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii and toxoplasmosis.
