متن کاملSensory neuropathy and metabolic risk factors in human immune deficiency virus infected South Africans receiving protease inhibitors
BACKGROUND Protease inhibitors (PI)s have been associated with distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) and metabolic complications in high-income countries. No data exist in Africans where second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) often include PIs. METHOD We performed a cross-sectional study to assess the DSP frequency and metabolic risk factors in community-based South Africans taking ritonavir-...
متن کاملPeripheral neuropathy in HIV: prevalence and risk factors.
OBJECTIVES To estimate neuropathic sign/symptom rates with initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in HIV-infected ART-naive patients, and to investigate risk factors for: peripheral neuropathy and symptomatic peripheral neuropathy (SPN), recovery from peripheral neuropathy/SPN after neurotoxic ART (nART) discontinuation, and the absence of peripheral neuropathy/SPN while on nAR...
متن کاملMortality risk and associated factors in HIV‐exposed, uninfected children
OBJECTIVE With increasing maternal antiretroviral treatment (ART), the number of children newly infected with HIV has declined. However, the possible increased mortality in the large number of HIV-exposed, uninfected (HEU) children may be of concern. We quantified mortality risks among HEU children and reviewed associated factors. METHODS Systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, Sco...
