Opportunistic Infections 
In Kenya, the increase in HIV associated with opportunistic infections has also become 
a problem.    JICA’s cooperation started the research on opportunistic infections since 
2001, based on the microorganism research technologies and treatment experiences 
cultivated in ARI.  The study targeted Mycrobacterium, Pseudomonas, and 
Pneumocystis carinii for the respiratory system, and Salmonella, Shigella, 
enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and E. candidasis for the enteric system, and surveys 
on HIV/AIDS-infected orphanages.
