What are Opportunistic Infections?

Opportunistic infections (OIs) are primarily observed in individuals with impaired immune function. This can include people with conditions such as HIV/AIDS, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients on immunosuppressive drugs, and those with autoimmune diseases being treated with immunosuppressive therapy.
Some common examples of opportunistic infections include Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, tuberculosis (TB), and candidiasis.
