Cytomegalovirus Active Infection in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...
متن کاملSerum beta 2-microglobulin levels in asymptomatic HIV-1-infected subjects during long-term zidovudine treatment.
beta 2-microglobulin levels were determined in the serum of 18 initially asymptomatic HIV-1 p24 antigenaemic subjects who were treated with zidovudine (+/- acyclovir) and who were followed for 2 1/2 years. The median serum beta 2-microglobulin level at week 0 was 2.5 mg/l and decreased to 2.3 mg/l after 12 weeks of treatment (p = 0.001). A correlation was found between individual changes in ser...
متن کاملOral Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients
Background: Oral lesions are among the earliest clinical manifestations of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection and are important in early diagnosis and for monitoring the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral lesions and their relationship with a number of factors in HIV/AIDS patients attending an HIV cente...
متن کاملNeopterin and beta 2-microglobulin as prognostic indices in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.
The great majority of individuals with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection presents with no signs or symptoms, or only lymphadenopathy. To initiate prophylactic measures in time it is necessary to establish risk criteria. CD4+ cell counts are significant predictors. Supplementary methods to improve the predictive information of CD4+ cell counts are still required. In addition,...
متن کاملBeta 2-microglobulin and neopterin: predictive markers for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection in children?
The value of beta 2-microglobulin and neopterin concentrations in serum for early diagnosis of infants born to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected mothers was assessed. Concentrations of both markers were measured in serum samples from pediatric patients (Centers for Disease Control classifications P0, P1, and P2), as well as in age-matched normal subjects. Both beta 2-microglo...
