Cerebrospinal fluid analysis in human immunodeficiency virus infection.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analytes were evaluated in 59 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV+) individuals to assess neurological involvement. Glucose, total protein, cell counts, p24 antigen, CSF: serum albumin/IgG ratios, and oligoclonal bands were measured. Eighty percent of samples showed abnormalities in one or more analyte. In some patients samples, these abnormalities could mimic those of s...
متن کاملSignificance of oligoclonal bands after stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma cases.
OBJECTIVE To determine the characteristics of oligoclonal bands that are frequently detected by serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) after stem cell transplantation. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 56 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing transplantation, and standard immunofixation electrophoresis was used to identify and quantify parapro...
متن کاملMonoclonal gammopathy in patients with HIV infection and aids patients
Two hundred and twenty two HIV positive serum specimens from different stages of HIV infection and from different high risk groups were subjected to electrophoresis on conventional agar gel by zone electrophoresis and analyzed in Davis Polyacrylamide Gel Disc electrophoresis (PAGDE). 52(23.42%) had shown monoclonal immunoglobulin components in their serum samples. Monoclonal immunoglobulins wer...
متن کاملTetanus and Diphtheria Seroprevalence in Patients Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objectives: HIV infected patients are at risk for vaccine-preventable infections such as tetanus and diphtheria (Td). In these patients, these antibodies tend to decline faster. Due to the limited data, this study assessed the seroprevalence of tetanus and diphtheria antibodies in HIV infected patients in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was carried o...
متن کاملWomen with cervicovaginal antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity have lower genital HIV-1 RNA loads.
Antibodies that mediate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) are present in the cervical fluid of many HIV-positive women; however, the role that these antibodies play in host defense against HIV is not known. To understand the contribution of ADCC in cervical secretions as a protective mechanism against HIV, we evaluated ADCC titers i...
