| 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.

| maintenance |
The continuous protective care of the fabric, contents or setting of a place. In technical terms maintenance consists of regular inspections of a monument or site and may involve small-scale treatments (eg surface cleaning, renewal of protective coatings). Preventative maintenance is a powerful tool to prevent decay and avoid large-scale conservation-restoration treatments. A suitable maintenance program implemented after the conservation treatment aims at preserving its improved conditions.

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.
