toxoplasmosis
No, it's toxoplasmosis.
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.
In some cases but not all. For instance, pinworms and tapeworm infestation are not painful at all.
Chickenpox and AIDS are viral illnesses. Thrush (yeast infection of the mouth) is caused by a fungus. Hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, may be caused by many things, including viruses. It may also be caused by parasitic infection, medications, alcohol, and metabolic conditions.
Cryptococcosis
Not in the general sense of the term parasite. AIDS is caused by the HIV virus.
PML is an opportunistic infection associated with AIDS and certain cancers. It occurs in people with inadequate immune response and carries a poor prognosis.
Advanced stage of HIV infection is 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.
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.
Yes, but in the form of a parasitic infection
you can get an infection in your lungs from having aids.
