AIDS patient with drug allergy. Lesions on a patient's arms and hands showing a reaction to the antibiotic drug tetracycline. This condition is also known as a fixed drug eruption and always affects the same area of the body,although repeated use of the drug leads to more severe symptoms. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by the human immuno- deficiency virus (HIV). It causes weakening of the immune system,making the patient susceptible to opportunistic infections and making normally harmless infections life threatening. In Africa lack of access to a wide variety of drugs makes AIDS a major public health concern | |
