What are the common infections in immunocompromised individuals?
Common infections in immunocompromised individuals include bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections. Notable examples are Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in HIV/AIDS patients, invasive aspergillosis in transplant recipients, and reactivation of latent herpesvirus infections. The weakened immune response makes it difficult for these patients to clear infections, often necessitating prolonged and aggressive treatment regimens.
