A Simple and Rapid Method for the Detection of HIV-1/HCV in Co-Infected Patients
Background: Due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. However, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of HIV-1 in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan
We conducted this study to obtain a comprehensive picture of molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in three neighboring countries, i.e. Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan as a basis for discussing possible hypothesis regarding between-country virus transmission. Our results showed that subtype composition differs between these countries with more variation in Pakistan than Iran and Afghanistan. The CRF3...
متن کاملHIV encephalopathy 647 26. HIV-1 associated Encephalopathy and Myelopathy
The primary cause of HIV encephalopathy (HIVE) is the infection of the CNS caused by HIV. If untreated, some 15-20 % of patients will eventually develop the disease. Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) the incidence of the disorder has decreased. Other terms used for this condition with largely the same significance are AIDS dementia complex, AIDS dementia, HI...
متن کاملHIV-1-specific CTLs effectively suppress replication of HIV-1 in HIV-1-infected macrophages.
Both CD4+ T cells and macrophages are major reservoirs of HIV-1. Previous study showed that HIV-1-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) hardly recognize HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells because of Nef-mediated HLA class I down-regulation, suggesting that HIV-1 escapes from HIV-1-specific CTLs and continues to replicate in HIV-1-infected donors. On the other hand, the CTL recognition of HIV-1-infec...
متن کاملSLCO2B1 gene polymorphism and anti-retroviral therapy side effects in HIV-1 infected patients
Abstract Background and Objectives HIV virus and its subsequent disease is one of the most important challenges of the world health system. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a breakthrough in patients’ life quality, it has complications like side effects. The side effect causes are diverse. One of the factors considered about side effects is genes polymorphism. This study investigates th...
