Among Patients with Sustained Viral Suppression in a Resource-Limited Setting, CD4 Gains Are Continuous Although Gender-Based Differences Occur
INTRODUCTION There is conflicting data on long-term CD4 immune recovery after combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in resource-limited settings. Virologic suppression is rarely documented in cohorts from sub-Saharan Africa so objective evidence of adherence is biologically unsubstantiated. We sought to investigate long-term patterns of immune recovery in Ugandan patients on ART with sustain...
متن کاملSurvival of Extremely Preterm Neonates in a Resource-limited Setting
Background: Preterm birth is a major contributor to neonatal and under-five mortality, and births at lower gestational ages (GA) contribute more to these statistics. Most developed countries have succeeded in improving survival at extremes of GA, while most developing countries like Nigeria still lag behind. The objective of this retrospective study was to document the...
متن کاملFunctional adrenal insufficiency among critically ill patients with human immunodeficiency virus in a resource-limited setting.
BACKGROUND Functional adrenal insufficiency (FAI) is associated with increased mortality and is defined as subnormal cortisol production during acute severe illness. METHODS After screening 200 adult patients admitted in the medical emergency unit of Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda, 113 critically ill HIV-infected adults not receiving corticosteroids were enrolled after obtaining informed co...
متن کاملT cell activation is associated with lower CD4+ T cell gains in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with sustained viral suppression during antiretroviral therapy.
Although T cell activation is associated with disease progression in untreated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, its significance in antiretroviral-treated patients is unknown. Activated (CD38(+)HLA-DR(+)) T cell counts were measured in 99 HIV-infected adults who had maintained a plasma HIV RNA level <or=1000 copies/mL for a median of 21 months while receiving antiretrovira...
متن کاملCD4 measurement in a 54-year-old man with sustained HIV-1 viral suppression.
A 54-year-old man with chronic HIV infection returns for a regularly scheduled visit. After his HIV diagnosis six years earlier, he started receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy and rapidly achieved sustained virologic suppression (HIV-1 viral load < 40 copies/mL). For the past four years, his CD4 measurements have been greater than 500 cells/μL. His current CD4 count is 592 cells/μL, ...
