Opportunistic Infections Guidelines

Opportunistic infections are infections that occur more frequently in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or other conditions that impair immunity. Guidelines for managing these infections provide recommendations for prevention, screening, and treatment. They emphasize timely medical intervention and regular monitoring to identify and address potential infections early. These guidelines help healthcare providers ensure that patients receive appropriate care to reduce their risk and improve outcomes, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for individuals at higher risk for these infections.
