Conclusion References

1. Definition a. HIV HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. HIV is a virus spread through certain body fluids that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, often called T cells. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease. These special cells help the immune system fight off infections. Untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body. This damage to the immune system makes it harder and harder for the body to fight off infections and some other diseases. Opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS (CDC,2007). b. Oral Candidiasis Oral candidiasis is an opportunistic infection in oral mucosa caused by fungi of the Candida albicans. In addition oral candidiasis can be caused by C. Tropicalis, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. Guilliermondi. It is common and underdiagnosed among the elderly, particularly in those who wear dentures and in many cases is avoidable with a good mouth care regimen. It can also be a mark of systemic disease, such as diabetes mellitus and is a common problem among the immunocompromised.
