Immunization of persons with HIV infection and other secondary immunodeficiencies.
Patients with secondary immunodeficiencies are at a high risk of infection. Currently some of these infections are preventable through specific immunization. Prevention of these diseases can diminish morbidity and mortality amongst these patients. In this review we describe the use of vaccines in persons with secondary immunodeficiencies.

متن کاملModelling HIV and MTB Co-Infection Including Combined Treatment Strategies
A new host-pathogen model is described that simulates HIV-MTB co-infection and treatment, with the objective of testing treatment strategies. The model includes CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, resting and activated macrophages, HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). For TB presentation at various stages of HIV disease in a co-infected individual, combined treatment strategies were tested with differe...
متن کاملKinetic model of HIV infection including hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Recent experiments indicate that one of the likely reasons of the failure of eradication of HIV is in infection of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Such cells are nurtured in stem-cell niches residing in the bone marrow. Our generic four-variable kinetic model focused on this ingredient of HIV infection describes (i) a rapid increase of the population of infected CD4⁺ T cells at the beginning of...
متن کاملTherapy-resistant opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome secondary to HIV-1 infection.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)– associated ...
