Infections Associated with AIDS

Because people with AIDS have weakened immune systems, they’re more prone to infections, called opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infections are caused by organisms that typically don’t cause disease in healthy people but affect people with damaged immune systems. These organisms attack when there’s an opportunity to infect.

Deterioration of the immune system is caused by the decline in CD4+ T cells, which are key infection fighters. As soon as HIV enters the body, it begins to destroy these cells.

Symptoms of opportunistic infections common with AIDS include:

Coma

Coughing and shortness of breath

Difficult or painful swallowing

Extreme fatigue

Fever

Mental symptoms such as confusion and forgetfulness

Nausea, abdominal cramps and vomiting

Seizures and lack of coordination

Severe, persistent diarrhea

Severe headaches

Vision loss

Weight loss

All except the weight loss fits her.
