Supersensitive Viral Load Assay in Predicting CD4-Guided Treatment Failure
In HIV patients who discontinue highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the degree of HIV RNA suppression at the time of treatment interruption may predict success of re-treatment after the interruption (STI). A case-control substudy of the Staccato trial in Thailand included CD4-guided STI subjects with HIV RNA > 50 copies /ml (virological failure cases, n=11) and HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml ...
متن کاملAssessment of HTLV-I proviral load, HIV viral load and CD4 T cell count in infected subjects; with an emphasis on viral replication in co-infection
Objective(s): HTLV-I and HIV virus quantification is an important marker for assessment of virus activities. Since there is a direct relationship between the number of virus and disease progression, HTLV- I and HIV co-infection might have an influence on the development of viral associated diseases, thus, viral replication of these viruses and co-infection were evaluated. Materials and...
متن کامل1565Identifying Optimal HIV Viral Load (VL) Thresholds for Predicting Antiretroviral Treatment Failure (TF) Using ROC Curve Analysis
Background. Guidelines on HIV treatment differ in recommended VL thresholds indicative of TF. Improvements in VL assay sensitivity and worldwide scale-up of VL monitoring make it increasingly important to determine optimal VLs thresholds for guiding treatment changes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves can identify optimal VL thresholds which maximize sensitivity and specificity for...
متن کاملQuality Control Planning of a Hepatitis B Viral Load Laboratory-Developed Assay
Background and Objectives: HBV DNA monitoring is important in management of chronic viral hepatitis B infection. HBV DNA measurements are carried out over period of months to years. So the analytical system must be stable and reproducible. The aim of this study was to determine the performance characteristics and to plan a statistical quality control system of a laboratory-developed real-tim...
متن کاملCD4+ count-guided interruption of antiretroviral treatment.
BACKGROUND Despite declines in morbidity and mortality with the use of combination antiretroviral therapy, its effectiveness is limited by adverse events, problems with adherence, and resistance of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). METHODS We randomly assigned persons infected with HIV who had a CD4+ cell count of more than 350 per cubic millimeter to the continuous use of antiretrovira...
