Primary infection with the human immunodeficiency virus causes profound immunosuppression with a decrease in lymphocyte numbers and function. However, this immunosuppression is transient and most individuals regain normal immune function. Infection with opportunist pathogens during the period of immunosuppression is rare. We report a case of severe prolonged cryptosporidiosis complicating primary HIV infection. This has not previously been described. A review of other cases of opportunist infections in primary HIV infection suggests that various pathogens may take advantage of the transient immunosuppression. This has important implications for the diagnosis and management of acute HIV infection, and for the diagnostic criteria currently used for AIDS.
