Natural history of intestinal microsporidiosis among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
A chart review of 73 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with enteric microsporidiosis was conducted to define the natural history of microsporidiosis. A substantial proportion of patients remained symptomatic after 6 months (54.8% with persistent diarrhea and 51.2% with weight loss). Predictors for persistent diarrhea included high HIV RNA viral load and no initiation of prote...
متن کاملIntestinal microsporidiosis in diarrheal patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Intestinal microsporidiosis is most commonly associated with persistent diarrhea in advanced AIDS cases. To determine the prevalence and clinical manifestations of this infection in HIV/AIDS patients, a single fresh stool sample and blood were collected from 243 (214 HIV-positive and 29 HIV-negative) diarrheal patients. The presence of intestinal microsporidiosis in the stool was determined by ...
متن کاملOral Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients

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 کاملGenetic homology among thirteen Encephalitozoon intestinalis isolates obtained from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with intestinal microsporidiosis.
The ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer sequences of 13 unrelated Encephalitozoon intestinalis isolates obtained from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with intestinal microsporidiosis were analyzed by gene amplification and DNA sequencing. Among these isolates, we found only one genetic lineage which suggests that E. intestinalis may have a clonal distribution in HIV-i...
