OBJECTIVE To identify the epidemiology in AIDS cases diagnosed in Distrito Federal - Brasil, in individuals aged > 60 years old. METHODS We conducted a time serie study with secondary data from SINAN/AIDS for the period January 19...
متن کاملFully Differentiated HIV-1 Specific CD8+ T Effector Cells Are More Frequently Detectable in Controlled than in Progressive HIV-1 Infection
BACKGROUND CD8+ T cells impact control of viral infections by direct elimination of infected cells and secretion of a number of soluble factors. In HIV-1 infection, persistent HIV-1 specific IFN-gamma+ CD8+ T cell responses are detected in the setting of disease progression, consistent with functional impairment in vivo. Recent data suggest that impaired maturation, as defined by the lineage ma...
متن کاملSeven years of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in an HIV-infected man without detectable antibodies.
After infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV), in 50% of cases anti-HCV antibodies will be detectable within 5–10 weeks [1–3]. The development of antibodies may be somewhat prolonged in HIV-coinfected individuals: median time from HCV infection to seroconversion has been estimated to be 10–13 weeks among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) [4,5]. Anecdotal evidence suggests that serocon...

متن کاملDifferences in disease progression in a cohort of long-term non-progressors after more than 16 years of HIV-1 infection.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether resistance to immunologic damage in long-term non-progressors (LTNP) will last indefinitely or whether it merely represents the extreme of a Gaussian distribution, and therefore progression will occur eventually. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 19 LTNP was established in 1997. Plasma viraemia and CD4 cell counts were measured two to three times each year unti...
