Abstract:
The discussion regarding the need for intensive-care treatment of AIDS patients should be conducted in a highly differentiated manner and should depend on the prognosis of the underlying or basic disease, on the immunological situation, on the mental condition and on the consent of the individual patient. During the past two years the treatment results have improved markedly by the use of steroids, especially in pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
