The 20 pages that link to Opportunistic infection, each with the reason it gives.

• Sexually transmitted infectionRelated: HIV-related immune damage can increase susceptibility to other infections, though those are not necessarily sexually transmitted.

• ImmunosuppressionRelated: Immunosuppression can allow microbes that are usually controlled to cause serious illness.

• Healthcare-associated infectionCompared with: Opportunistic infections are defined by host vulnerability, not by where acquisition occurred.

• HIV/AIDSRelated: Advanced HIV permits infections that a healthy immune system usually controls.

• DexamethasoneRelated: Immune suppression from dexamethasone can increase susceptibility to certain infections.

• Graft-versus-host diseaseRelated: Immune suppression used to control disease raises susceptibility to infections that can complicate recovery.

• Pseudomonas aeruginosaRelated: The bacterium typically causes disease when host defenses or barriers are compromised.

• HIVRelated: Advanced HIV increases vulnerability to infections that healthy immune systems usually control.

• Fungal infectionRelated: Many severe fungal diseases exploit immunosuppression or disrupted barriers.

• AIDSRelated: Severe immune suppression makes these infections more likely and more dangerous.

• Bacterial infectionRelated: Some bacteria cause disease mainly when host defenses or barriers are compromised.

• Immunosuppressive therapyRelated: Reduced immune surveillance makes some infections more likely or severe.

• AIDS crisisRelated: These illnesses were among the earliest visible and often fatal consequences of AIDS.

• InfliximabRelated: Suppressing TNF-α increases susceptibility to certain serious infections.

• MucoralesRelated: Mucormycosis disproportionately affects people with specific immune or metabolic vulnerabilities.

• Immunosuppressive drugRelated: Reduced immunity can allow infections that healthy defenses usually contain.

• PrednisoloneRelated: Prednisolone's immune suppression can increase susceptibility and mask signs of infection.

• Pathogenic bacteriaCompared with: Some bacteria cause disease mainly when host conditions create an opportunity.

• CiclosporinRelated: Suppressing T-cell function increases susceptibility to infections that healthy immunity often controls.

• Immune System DiseasesRelated: These infections are a major consequence of significant immunodeficiency.
