| maintenance therapy |
This refers to long-term (perhaps life-long) treatment of an infection, to make sure it does not come back. Usually, drug doses are lower than the levels used to treat an actual case of the infection. Examples of infections that require maintenance (or "suppressive") therapy include PCP, MAC, CMV, and TB.

extended drug therapy, usually at a diminished dose, administered after a disease has been brought under control. Maintenance therapy is utilized when a complete cure is not attainable, and a disease is likely to recur if therapy is halted. It is used for CHRONIC infections and tumors.
