What protozoan parasitic infection associated with AIDS produces pneumonitis hepatitis and encephalitis?
The protozoan parasite associated with AIDS that can lead to pneumonitis, hepatitis, and encephalitis is called Toxoplasma gondii. It is an opportunistic infection commonly seen in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with late-stage AIDS. Treatment typically involves a combination of anti-parasitic medications.

Cryptococcosis

What are forms of cmv?
Some common forms of CMV (Cytomegalovirus) include congenital CMV infection (transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy), symptomatic CMV infection in immunocompromised individuals (such as those with HIV/AIDS), and asymptomatic CMV infection in healthy individuals. Additionally, CMV can also cause mononucleosis-like symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals.
What are three types of opportunistic infections?
Pneumocystis pneumonia: An opportunistic infection commonly seen in individuals with weakened immune systems, including those with HIV/AIDS. Candidiasis: A fungal infection caused by the Candida species, which can affect various areas of the body, such as the mouth, throat, and genitalia. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection: A viral infection that can cause severe complications in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as organ transplant recipients or people with HIV/AIDS.

What is not6 a major disease associated with AIDS?
AIDS primarily leads to opportunistic infections and certain cancers due to the weakened immune system. However, conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are not directly associated with AIDS. While individuals with AIDS may have these conditions, they are not considered major diseases linked to the progression of HIV infection.
Can AIDS be treated with antibiotics?
False. There is no cure yet for AIDS. Antibiotics work on bacteria. So if an AIDS patient gets a secondary bacterial infection, it would be appropriate for them to take antibiotics to help with the bacterial infection. AIDS is caused by the HIV virus, so antibiotics would be ineffective for treatment of the AIDS itself, just secondary infections associated with the AIDS. They are especially prone to these because of the lowered ability of AIDS patients' immune systems to fight disease.
