Personality changes in HIV-infected patients who have been receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy

Metabolic Abnormalities in HIV-Positive Patients Receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

Background and Objective: Dyslipidemia has become a common problem in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, especially in patients on combination antiretroviral therapy. In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic abnormalities in 2 groups of HIV infected patients receiving highly activ...

Lactic acidosis in HIV patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy.

Exposure to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may lead to adverse effects related to mitochondrial toxicity such as lactic acidosis. We describe two cases of severe lactic acidosis in HIV-positive patients to illustrate the clinical symptoms and abnormal laboratory results associated with this condition. There is a lack of awareness about the risk factors for developing severe lactic...

Recurrent pulmonary sarcoidosis in HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy.

HIV infection and sarcoidosis occur in the same age group, but there are only a few reports of the coexistence of the two disorders in the same individual. This infrequent occurrence has been attributed to the paucity of functioning CD4(+) lymphocytes required for granuloma formation in patients with HIV infection. We report two patients with a history of remote sarcoidosis who later in life co...
