These infections are common in people with advanced HIV and can be life-threatening, making access to rapid diagnosis crucial for treatment and survival.

The infections have become more dangerous due to antimicrobial resistance, and many cases go undiagnosed because of limited laboratory capabilities. The paper calls for better diagnostic tools and treatment strategies tailored to resource-limited settings where most advanced HIV disease cases occur.
