Common Clinical Manifestations of Chronic HIV Infection • Constitutional Symptoms • fever • weight loss/wasting • fatigue • Organ/System Specific • virtually all organ systems can be affected • Consider HIV testing for unexplained syndromes

Prophylaxis against Opportunistic Infections • Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) • Toxoplasmosis gondii • Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) • Cryptococcal Meningitis • CMV retinitis • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB)
By Salvatore Marra, from AIDS imaging http://members.xoom.it/Aidsimaging
PCP - Primary Prophylaxis • Initiate at CD4<200 or prior AIDS-defining illness • Best: TMP-SMX • 1 DS qd, 1 SS qd, 1 DS qod or tiw • 1 DS qd also confers protection vs T. gondii and common bacterial infections • consider desensitization if allergic reaction • up to 70% of patients can tolerate reinstitution of therapy

Toxoplasmic Encephalitis Primary Prophylaxis • Avoid contact with cat feces, raw or undercooked meat, esp. if IgG (-) • Initiate primary prophylaxis at CD4<100 • Options include: • TMP-SMX • dapsone plus pyrimethamine/leucovorin • atovaquone plus pyrimethamine/leucovorin • pyrimethamine-sulfadiazine/leucovorin
MAC Primary Prophylaxis • initiate at CD4<50; R/O dMAC first if symptomatic • options: • clarithromycin 500mg po bid • azithromycin 500mg po qd or 1200mg po qwk • rifabutin 300mg po qd • survival benefit shown for clarithromycin • multiple interactions between rifabutin and antiretrovirals
Cytomegalovirus Primary Prophylaxis • Counseling and regular ophthalmological exams for patients with CD4<50 • CMV(-) blood for patients who are CMV(-) at baseline

Candidal Infections • fluconazole can reduce risk of vaginal, oropharyngeal and esophageal infection • however, generally not recommended: • potential for resistance, cost, possibility of drug interactions • low mortality associated with these infections • acute treatment generally effective
Candidal Infections for which prophylaxis may be warranted: • recurrent esophageal candidiasis: fluconazole 100-200mg qd • recurrent Candida vaginitis: weekly intravaginal clotrimazole tablets or lactobacillus gel capsules reduces frequency by approximately 50%1 1.

Primary Prophylaxis vs Cryptococcal Meningitis? • Fluconazole provides limited protection • resistance can develop • Not routinely recommended
