Opportunistic Infections in Immunocompromised Patients *ACPE-Accredited*

CorConsult Rx: Evidence-Based Medicine and Pharmacy

On this episode, we discuss the prevention and management of opportunistic infections in patients with HIV and other immunocompromising conditions. We provide an overview of the various strategies for managing common OIs, including pharmacological treatments and preventive measures. We also compare and contrast the efficacy, safety profiles, and appropriate use of antibiotic/antifungal therapies used for preventing and treating OIs.
