Immunocompromised patients are more susceptible to severe illness from the C.fetus subtype of Campylobacter infection. They may experience more severe symptoms, longer duration of illness, and have a higher risk of complications such as bloodstream infection (bacteremia) or organ infection (disseminated infection). Prompt medical attention and appropriate treatment are important for immunocompromised individuals with C.fetus infection.
The disease can be fatal to all immunocompromised patients, especially AIDS patients, and particularly if not treated. As a result, immunocompromised patients are typically placed on anti-toxoplasmosis drugs for the rest of their lives.
Immunocompromised and elderly (>50 years of age) patients are at an increased risk for developing more severe syndromes;
Cryptococcus is a fungal disease that can cause meningitis in people with AIDS and other immunocompromised people. It is an opportunistic infection.
Absolutely! People who are patients in the hospital are often immunocompromised. You don't want people who are sick coming to visit, because they could get the patients sick and this would only exacerbate their current conditions.
Cats carry the parasite toxoplasma gondii. In immunocompromised patients (people with AIDS, on steroids) in can cause a fatal infection. In individuals with immunocompromising cancers (eg leukemias) who are receiving chemotherapy, this infection may also occur.

Most individuals recover from pneumonia. However, very elderly and/or immunocompromised patients sometimes succumb, despite antibiotic treatment, and die.
Foscarnet is used in treatment of immunocompromised patients with cytomegalovirus infections and in acyclovir-resistant herpes simples virus.

Enterobacter aerogenes can be of significance in patients who are elderly, immunocompromised, recent hospital admission because this is usually acquired from the hospital or nasocomial.
