Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Hola mi amigo mexicano, Con tus CD4 estando en 125, est�s corriendo el riesgo de contraer una infecci�n oportunista, en concreto, la neumon�a por Pneumocistis carinii (PCP, en sus siglas en ingles). (Todos los portadores con un recuento de CD4 inferior a 200 deber�an tomar el antibi�tico llamado trimetoprima-sulfametoxazol (Bactrim, Septra) o una alternativa, si existe una alergia a los f�rmacos que contienen sulfa, como profilaxis contra este tipo de neumon�a. Lo m�s importante es que tus s�ntomas que crees ser atribuibles a "una fuerte infecci�n de bronquitis" pueden ser en cambio atribuibles a una enfermedad distinta y potencialmente mucho m�s seria, tal como la PCP. Apaga tu computadora y haz una cita inmediatamente con tu m�dico especialista en VIH. Por �ltimo, es definitivamente el momento para empezar tratamiento antirretroviral. Mucha suerte y un fuerte abrazo. Dr. Steve �Quiere leer m�s preguntas y respuestas sobre este tema? �Tenemos much�simas preguntas similares que ha contestado nuestro experto!
