Abstract
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Destroys The CD4+ T Cells Progressively And Relentlessly Thus Making The HIV Infected Persons Susceptible To A Number Of Opportunistic Infections (Ois). It Was Also Noted That Certain Ois Manifest Below A Particular Threshold Of CD4+T Ce1l Count, Many Of These In A Advanced Stage Of The HIV Infection. The Study Was Conducted At Medicine Department And ART Centre, VIMSAR, Burla, Odisha, India. It Is A Observational Prospective Study From July 2016 To September 2017. The Aim Of The Study Is To Know Study The Epidemiological Profile Of HIV Infected Patients Having Different Ois,The Clinical Profile Of Various Ois In The Study Population And To Correlate The CD4+T Cell Count With Different Ois Present In The Patients.
