A short review on infections in all types of immunocompromised host is given. This includes aspects dealing with the underlying diseases that predispose to infection, other predisposing factors to infections, and the types of infections that different compromised hosts are susceptible to and why. An attempt is made to lead into a more detailed discussion about the specific compromised hosts that are discussed in the rest of the symposium.
