Hiv disease resulting in other mycoses - what does this mean

Hiv disease can weaken the immune system, making it easier for other mycoses, such as candidiasis, to take hold and cause infection. this is because hiv reduces the number of cd4+ t cells in the body, which are responsible for fighting off infections. as the number of cd4+ t cells decreases, the body is less able to fight off other infections, such as fungal infections, which can then cause other mycoses.

What happens during the disease - hiv disease resulting in other mycoses

Hiv disease weakens the body's immune system, leaving it vulnerable to other infections, including mycoses. mycoses are fungal infections that occur when fungi enter the body and take advantage of the weakened immune system. the fungi can spread throughout the body, causing a variety of infections and symptoms, such as skin rashes, difficulty breathing, and organ damage. the weakened immune system of someone with hiv disease makes it difficult for the body to fight these infections, leading to more severe and long-term health problems.
