- cART = Combined antiretroviral therapy
- Per AMBOSS and UTD, although a macrolide is no longer recommended for MAC prophylaxis in patients taking cART, it is still recommended for patients with a CD4+ count < 50/mm3 who are not immediately started on effective cART (e.g., because they refuse ART)
CD4 count (cells/μL) | Infection | Indication | Prophylaxis |
---|---|---|---|
< 250 | Coccidioidomycosis | Reside in endemic area AND If (+) IgG or (+) IgM | Fluconazole |
< 200 | Pneumocystis pneumonia | Everyone | TMP-SMX |
< 100 | Toxoplasma gondii | Positive serology | TMP-SMX |
< 50 | Mycobacterium avium complex | No active infection + not on fully suppressive ART | Azithromycin OR clarithromycin |
