2. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_reconstitution...

   Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a condition seen in some cases of HIV/AIDS or immunosuppression, in which the immune system begins to recover, but then responds to a previously acquired opportunistic infection with an overwhelming inflammatory response that paradoxically makes the symptoms of infection worse.

3. Opportunistic infection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_infection

   As immune function declines and HIV-infection progresses to AIDS, individuals are at an increased risk of opportunistic infections that their immune systems are no longer capable of responding properly to. Because of this, opportunistic infections are a leading cause of HIV/AIDS-related deaths. [49]

4. WHO disease staging system for HIV infection and disease

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHO_Disease_Staging_System...

   Most of these conditions are opportunistic infections that are easily treated in healthy people. The staging system is different for adults and adolescents and children. [2] Stage I: HIV disease is asymptomatic and not categorized as AIDS. Stage II: include minor mucocutaneous manifestations and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections.

5. HIV - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV

   The human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are two species of Lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that infect humans.Over time, they cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), [1] [2] a condition in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. [3]

6. Signs and symptoms of HIV/AIDS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs_and_symptoms_of_HIV/AIDS

   Unexplained chronic diarrhea in HIV infection is due to many possible causes, including common bacterial (Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria or Campylobacter) and parasitic infections; and uncommon opportunistic infections such as cryptosporidiosis, microsporidiosis, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and viruses, [21] astrovirus, adenovirus ...

8. Pathophysiology of HIV/AIDS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology_of_HIV/AIDS

   HIV seeks out and destroys CCR5 expressing CD4 + cells during acute infection. A vigorous immune response eventually controls the infection and initiates the clinically latent phase. However, CD4 + T cells in mucosal tissues remain depleted throughout the infection, although enough remain to initially ward off life-threatening infections.

9. Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_HIV/AIDS

   Declining CD4 T-cell counts are considered to be a marker of progression of HIV infection. A normal CD4 count can range from 500 cells/mm3 to 1000 cells/mm3. In HIV-positive people, AIDS is officially diagnosed when the count drops below 200 cells/μL or when certain opportunistic infections occur. This use of a CD4 count as an AIDS criterion ...
