To examine the expanding clinical spectrum and management of opportunistic infections resulting from progressive cellular immune deficiency in HIV-infected patients.

HIV selectively causes time-dependent depletion of T4 lymphocytes, crippling host cellular immune defenses.
The clinical range of secondary infections extends substantially beyond the original twelve surveillance-defined AIDS conditions.
