Treatment of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and associated manifestations
L. D. Kaplan, C. B. Wofsy and P. A. Volberding
Treatment of AIDS is multidisciplinary and often involves input from a
number of medical subspecialties. Treatment of opportunistic infections and
malignancies in AIDS is largely palliative in that these treatments do not
reverse the underlying immunodeficiency. Investigational approaches to the
treatment of this syndrome with immunomodulators and antiviral agents are
currently being investigated with the hope that these agents, either alone
or in combination, will be active against this devastating disease.
