Abstract
This article updates the guidelines on treatment of acute episodes of various opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients, including infections due to parasites, fungi, viruses, mycobacteria, and bacteria. This edition has a new chapter on imported parasite infections as well as additional information on endemic mycoses in the chapter on fungal infections, taking into account the growing number of immigrants in our setting. Lastly, the chapter on the immune reconstitution syndrome has also been updated, providing relevant data on a phenomenon that has clinical and diagnostic repercussions in patients who start antiretroviral therapy while they are severely immunodepressed (English version available at http://www.gesida.seimc.org).
