 AB    Specific microorganisms have certain types of host defenses directed at
       them. Inhibition of different host defenses, therefore, leads to an
       increased risk of the host for infection with different organisms. This
       article discusses the types of infections present in immunocompromised
       patients as well as a general approach to diagnosis and treatment.
