The medical examination of these complaints is described and includes algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of the most common HIV-related opportunistic infections, including Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, cytomegalovirus infection, and cryptococcal meningitis.
