Hiv disease resulting in mycobacterial infection - what does this mean
Hiv disease resulting in mycobacterial infection occurs when the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) compromises the body's immune system, allowing opportunistic mycobacterial infections such as tuberculosis (tb) to take hold. the weakened immune system is unable to fight off the infection, leading to a potentially life-threatening illness.
What happens during the disease - hiv disease resulting in mycobacterial infection
The pathogenesis of hiv disease resulting in mycobacterial infection is complex and involves an initial infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). this virus causes a weakened immune system, which can then allow for opportunistic infections including mycobacterial infections. once the mycobacteria enter the body, they can cause a variety of symptoms, including fever, weight loss, and fatigue. in some cases, the mycobacteria can spread to other organs, leading to more serious complications.
