Select two examples of opportunistic infections for HIV positive individuals.?


here are the examples:

pneumcyistis carinii

anodontia

peristalsis

Kaposi's sarcoma

hemodialysis

You're probably looking for Pneumocystis carinii and Kaposi's sarcoma, which are both names for opportunistic diseases.

To be pedantic, Pneumocystis carinii has been renamed Pneumocystis jirovecii, although the old name is still sometimes used.

Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer of the lymphatic endothelium, not strictly an infection, although it is caused by a viral infection, Human herpes virus 8.

Pneumocystis carinii and Karosis sarcoma. Both are opportunistic infections of HIV infected people. Both are infections that usually what a person diagnosed with AIDS dies of. A person is diagnosed with a viral infection (HIV) that may or may not turn into a disease (AIDS) but the disease just leaves them vulnerable to acquire another infection, which their suppressed immune system can not handle and they die.

Kaposi's sarcoma, pneumcyistis carinii
