    Glossary Opportunistic Infections

    illnesses caused by pathogens exploiting weakened immune systems

    Opportunistic infections are illnesses caused by pathogens that take advantage of a weakened immune system, which would not typically cause disease in a healthy individual. These infections are common in people with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, undergoing chemotherapy, or taking immunosuppressive drugs.
