AIDS is a well-known infectious disease, but respiratory and diarrheal diseases claim far more lives every year than AIDS. According to the figure, how many times more lives were lost to respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases than to AIDS?
Why does an AIDS patient suffer from many infections?
People with AIDS are vulnerable to toxoplasmosis caused by theprotozoan Toxoplasma gondii, resulting in infection of lungs, liver,heart, and brain, and often leading to death. About 25% of the world’s population is infected, usually without developing symptoms. Why then are people with AIDS so susceptible to this disease?
