[Opportunistic diseases again on the increase? Study shows tendency for change in the trend].
Since the HAART, primary and secondary prophylaxis, a better understanding of HIV infection and, last, but not least, improved patient compliance with treatment due to a facilitated treatment regimen, have all contributed to achieving a reduction in the number of opportunistic diseases. However, they are no longer decreasing as rapidly as before, but appear to have leveled off. In the first months of HAART a so-called immune reconstitution syndrome, an acute variegated clinical picture may appear, which must be differentiated diagnostically from intolerance of HAART.
