Metabolic complications and selected cytokines in HIV-infected individuals.
INTRODUCTION Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals are at a higher risk of developing metabolic disturbances. The pathogenesis of these complications is complex and not fully explored. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of HIV infection and antiretroviral (ARV) therapy on the development of metabolic changes and adipocytokine concentrations. The an...
متن کاملDiagnostic Utility of Bone Marrow Sampling and Profile of Hematological Abnormalities in Indian HIV-infected Individuals
Background: Hematological abnormalities are a common complication of HIV infection and occur in all stages of the infection. These abnormalities increase as the disease advances. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of bone marrow sampling in HIV-positive patients. Methods: 40 HIV-infected individuals were screened for hematological abnormalities. Investigations such as iron studies, he...
متن کاملProspective and Retrospective Memory Complaints in HIV-Infected Individuals
Background and purpose: Deficits of retrospective memory (RetM) and prospective memory (ProM), which are two primary components of episodic memory, have been reported in prior studies in HIV-infected individuals. The present study aimed to further elucidate the characteristics of prospective and retrospective memory complaints in HIV-infected individuals. Materials and Methods: We recruited 50...
متن کاملCoinfection with Hepatitis C Virus among HIV-1-Infected Individuals Increases Proinflammatory Cytokines and HIV-1 Disease Severity
However, in cases of HIV-1 and HCV coinfection, the number of chronic HCV infections rises to 90% [4]. The result of any viral infection depends on the interplay between the activation of host cellular factors to the infection and the viral mechanisms that counteract them [5]. HCV is responsible for activating antiviral interferon (IFN)-α/β expression, but irrespective of the expression of thes...
متن کاملElevated inflammatory cytokines in aqueous cytokine profile in HIV-1 infected patients with cataracts in Uganda
BACKGROUND Cataracts occur earlier among HIV-infected adults and this is attributed to various intraocular inflammatory processes that result in early degeneration. In this study we purposed to investigate whether HIV infected individuals with cataracts develop heightened intraocular inflammatory processes compared to their HIV negative counterparts by determining the concentration of 8 cytokin...
