- W4231982860 abstract "Deficiency in host defences allows infections to occur with greater frequency. Their nature and presentation may be unusual and hence diagnosis may be difficult. The type, severity and duration of immunocompromise determine the infections to which the host is vulnerable. Unlike in primary immunocompromised patients, the susceptibility of secondary immunocompromised patients to infection often changes during the course of their illness as their immune function may vary with the use of immunosuppressive drugs or highly active antiretroviral agents prescribed for those with human immunodeficiency virus. This article highlights the timing of host susceptibility to specific infections in relation to the course of their illness and treatment. Growing numbers of immunocompromised patients make this a key area for those involved in managing infections. A number of strategies are employed to combat the infectious threat ranging from prophylaxis to pre-emptive, empirical and definitive treatment regimens. Key concepts: Immunocompromised patients are susceptible to a range of opportunistic infections due to deficiencies in their immune defences. Approaches to diagnosis, investigation and management in the secondary immunocompromised host are explored." @default.
