AIDS (final stages)
In the final stages of AIDS the infections are relatively unimportant - the patient is suffering mostly from HIV disease.
Features may include:
- weakness
- cachexia
- diarrhoea
- dementia
In contrast to the similar features seen in the terminal stages of cancer, the patient may have relatively long to live - quite a few months. In terminal cancer, once the patient has reached this stage the prognosis is a matter of weeks.
