Effectiveness of potent antiretroviral therapies on the incidence of opportunistic infections before and after AIDS diagnosis [Detels R, et al. AIDS 2001;15:347]: The authors review the MACS database on over 2,000 patients including 1,470 with AIDS to determine the frequency of AIDS-defining opportunistic infections. The period of HAART was associated with an 81% decline in OIs including PCP, MAC, CMV, and esophageal candidiasis.
Comment: These data are added to a multitude of data from other sources to show the dramatic impact of HAART on the frequency of AIDS and AIDS-defining OIs.
