متن کاملSLCO2B1 gene polymorphism and anti-retroviral therapy side effects in HIV-1 infected patients
Abstract Background and Objectives HIV virus and its subsequent disease is one of the most important challenges of the world health system. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a breakthrough in patients’ life quality, it has complications like side effects. The side effect causes are diverse. One of the factors considered about side effects is genes polymorphism. This study investigates th...

BACKGROUND Multi-nucleos(t)ide resistance (MNR) mutations including Q151M, K65R mutations, and insertion at codon 69 of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase coding region may confer resistance to all molecules of nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI). The presence of these mutations is an emerging problem compromising non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitor...

Background and Objective: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people are at higher risk of opportunistic infections due to immunodeficiency. The current study aimed to evaluate the different levels of CD4 in HIV-infected patients and its relationship with clinical and paraclinical manifestations of the patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 94 HIV-...
متن کاملMinority quasispecies of drug-resistant HIV-1 that lead to early therapy failure in treatment-naive and -adherent patients.
BACKGROUND Early virological failure of antiretroviral therapy associated with the selection of drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in treatment-naive patients is very critical, because virological failure significantly increases the risk of subsequent failures. Therefore, we evaluated the possible role of minority quasispecies of drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type ...
