متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus-associated distal sensory polyneuropathy: still common after many successes.
P ERIPHERAL NEUROPATHIES HAVE BEEN ASSOciated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection since the earliest descriptions of its neurological manifestations. Among several distinct entities (eg, distal sensory polyneuropathy [DSPN], diffuse infiltrative lym-phocytosis syndrome, and inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy), DSPN is not only the most common but arguably the most difficult...
متن کاملHyperlactatemia and hepatic abnormalities in 10 human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients receiving nucleoside analogue combination regimens.
During a 6-and-a-half month period, we identified 10 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected men who were receiving antiretroviral regimens, including nucleoside analogues, and who developed unexplained reproducible hyperlactatemia in association with either abdominal symptoms or an unaccounted-for elevated alanine aminotransferase level, or both. After careful consideration of the possible...
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 کاملSafety and Toxicity of Individual Antiretroviral Agents in Pregnancy NUCLEOSIDE AND NUCLEOTIDE ANALOGUE REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE INHIBITORS
There are currently six approved nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Data are available from clinical trials in human pregnancy for zidovudine and lamivudine, while didanosine and stavudine are under study. Zalcitabine and abacavir have not been studied in pregnant women. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is the first acyclic nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Th...
