Figure 3. Yearly opportunistic infection rates per 1,000 HIV-infected children, CDC Pediatric Spectrum of Disease Project, 1994–2001. Bacterial, bacterial infections; CMV, cytomegalovirus; HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; LIP, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia; MAC, Mycobacterium avium complex; PCP, Pneumocystis pneumonia. Incidence rates were calculated per 1,000 children at risk each year. All trends were significant at p < 0.05 in chi-square for trend analysis for four age groups (<1 year, 1–5 years, 6–9 years, and >10 years) except for the <1-year-old group for PCP, bacterial, and MAC.
