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 کاملCurrent antiretroviral drugs for human immunodeficiency virus infection: review article
Currently, there are about 37 million people worldwide living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) /AIDS, with an estimated two million new cases per year globally. According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), only 75% of the population with HIV know their status. Initially, HIV infection was associated with significantly increased rates of mortality and morbidity. Howeve...
متن کاملMechanisms of CD4+ T lymphocyte cell death in human immunodeficiency virus infection and AIDS.
AIDS, caused by the retroviruses human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and type 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2), has reached pandemic proportions. Therefore, it is critical to understand how HIV causes AIDS so that appropriate therapies can be formulated. Primarily, HIV infects and kills CD4(+) T lymphocytes, which function as regulators and amplifiers of the immune response. In the absence of effective anti...
متن کاملCD4+CD7-CD57+ T cells: a new T-lymphocyte subset expanded during human immunodeficiency virus infection.
CD7 and CD57 are two cell surface molecules related to the differentiation or functional stages of CD4+ T cells. The CD4+CD7- T cells represent a minor subset of CD4+ cells in normal individuals and are considered to contain the normal counterpart of Sézary T cells; the CD4+CD57+ peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) are detectable in long-term renal allograft recipients. We compared the cell surf...
متن کاملLeft ventricular dysfunction is associated with CD4 lymphocyte count rather than opportunistic infection in human immunodeficiency virus infection.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is often found in the early stage of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and deteriorates with disease progression. CD4 lymphocyte count and opportunistic infection are the major indicators for the clinical staging of HIV infection. This study investigated the association of these indicators with LV dysfunction in the clinical co...
