Immunosuppressed patients, particularly those with AIDS,are vulnerable to a broad range of pulmonary pathogens. In addition to being susceptible to the many organisms that produce community- and hospital-acquired pneumonias, these patients are susceptible to many opportunistic microbes that are unlikely to cause pneumonia in immunologically competent hosts.
Such organisms include bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas, Nocardia, and Legionella), mycobacteria (e.g., M. avium complex), viruses (e.g., cytomegalovirus and herpesvirus), fungi (e.g., Candida, Aspergillus, Mucor, and Pneumocystis jiroveci [formerly P. carinii]), and protozoa (e.g., Toxoplasma gondii)
