HIV Chest Infections
HIV Chest Infections
Patients with HIV often experience chest problems, and the types of infections depend on their CD4 count.
Low CD4 count (under 200)
Low CD4 count (under 200)
Increased risk of severe, opportunistic chest infections (bacterial, mycobacterial, candidal).
Moderate CD4 count (200-500)
Moderate CD4 count (200-500)
Bacterial, mycobacterial, and candidal infections are common in this range.

Study Notes
Chest Manifestations in HIV Patients
- HIV patients can present with acute chest issues.
- The cause of chest infections depends on CD4 count.
- With CD4 counts between 200 and 500 cells/µL, bacterial, mycobacterial, and candidal infections are common.
