Opportunistic infections
For patients taking potent combination antiretroviral
therapy (ART), beginning in 1996, there has been a
dramatic decline in the incidence of AIDS-related
opportunistic infections (OIs) such as Pneumocystis
carinii pneumonia (PCP), disseminated
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), and invasive
cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease
Treatment Guidelines
2001 USPHS/IDSA Guidelines for the Prevention
of Opportunistic Infections in Persons Infected
with HIV
Treatment of Tuberculosis - June 20, 2003
Rating Strength of the
Recommendation
A Both strong evidence for efficacy and
substantial clinical benefit support
recommendation for use. Should
always be offered.
D Moderate evidence for lack of efficacy
or for adverse outcome supports a
recommendation against use. Should
generally not be offered.
B Moderate evidence for efficacy -- or
strong evidence for efficacy but only
limited clinical benefit -- supports
recommendation for use. Should
generally be offered.
E Good evidence for lack of efficacy or for
adverse outcome supports a
recommendation against use. Should
never be offered.
C Evidence for efficacy is insufficient to
support a recommendation for or
against use. Or evidence for efficacy
might not outweigh adverse
consequences (e.g., drug toxicity, drug
interactions) or cost of the
chemoprophylaxis or alternative
approaches. Optional.
Gross PA, Barrett TL, Dellinger EP,
et al. Purpose of quality standards for
infectious diseases. Clin Infect Dis
1994; 18(3):421.
Quality of evidence supporting the
recommendation
I Evidence from at least one properly randomized, controlled trial.
II Evidence from at least one well-designed clinical trial without
randomization, from cohort or case-controlled analytic studies
(preferably from more than one center), or from multiple timeseries studies. Or dramatic results from uncontrolled experiments.
III Evidence from opinions of respected authorities based on clinical
experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees.
