AB A number of animal-associated infections occur in persons infected with
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), including those due to
Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium, Microsporida, Salmonella,
Campylo-bacter, Giardia, Rhodococcus equi, Rochalimaea, and Listeria
monocytogenes. Most of these infections, with the exception of those due
to Rochalimaea, appear to be acquired by the immunosuppressed individual
from sources other than exposure to animals. Drs. Glaser and colleagues
review our current understanding of the role of exposure to animals,
especially pets, in the natural history of these opportunistic
infections. They suggest that the risk of zoonotic transmission is small
and offer practical suggestions designed to reduce this low risk. They
conclude that the benefits of animal companionship outweigh the risks to
patients and that prohibition of pet ownership by individuals infected
with HIV is not warranted.
