Extended high viremics

The importance of extended high viremics in models of HIV spread in South Africa.

Recent studies found a substantial fraction of 'extended high viremics' among HIV-1 subtype C, the most common subtype in southern Africa. Extended high viremics are HIV infected individuals who maintain a high viral load for a longer time period than usual after the initial infection. They are more infectious during this period, and their infection progresses to full-blown AIDS and death much ...

Using HIV viral load to guide treatment-for-prevention interventions.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide evidence that HIV-1 RNA load can guide treatment-for-prevention interventions to mitigate the HIV epidemic. RECENT FINDINGS Some HIV-infected individuals maintain increased levels of HIV-1 RNA load after acute infection for an extended period of time, and can disproportionately contribute to the spread of HIV in the community. The recent HIV Prevention Trials Netw...

High Prevalence of CTXM-15 Type Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Among Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae

Background: Production of β–lactamases by enterobacteriacea, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, is one of the emerging health problems in the world. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of blaCTX-M15 gene in K. pneumoniae isolates and determine the molecular diversity of CTXM producing isolates. Methods: In...
