Thrush: HAART? Apr 5, 2004 I have bad thrush and a fungal infection on the corner of my mouth, in spite of a normal CD4 count. Does that mean I am at greater risk of progressing to AIDS? Should I start HAART even though I have >800 CD4's? Thanks. |

| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 In the absence of antibiotic or steroid use, or underlying diabetes, this may indicate some immune suppression despite normal CD4 counts. I would not recommend treatment unless I saw a significant trend in CD4 decline or repeated episodes of thrush or other symptoms. | ||||||||
