Elevated inflammatory cytokines in aqueous cytokine profile in HIV-1 infected patients with cataracts in Uganda

Elevated 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...

profile of candidiasis in hiv infected patients.

background and objective: candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection in hiv-infected patients. the spectrum of candida infection is diverse, starting from asymptomatic colonization to pathogenicforms. the low absolute cd4+ t-lymphocyte count has traditionally been cited as the greatest risk factor for the development of oropharyngeal candidiasis and current guidelines suggest increased ris...

Expression profile of inflammatory cytokines in aqueous from glaucomatous eyes

PURPOSE To determine the proinflammatory cytokine profile of aqueous humor from glaucomatous eyes. METHODS Aqueous humor samples were prospectively collected from 38 eyes (26 primary open angle glaucoma [POAG] and 12 primary angle closure glaucoma [PACG] eyes) of 37 medically treated glaucoma patients and 23 cataract subjects recruited in an institutional setting in this case-controlled study...
