Assessment 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 کاملPrevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission
In Iran 8% of HIV- infected cases are women. Since most of them are young and in childbearing ages, in case of becoming pregnant and not receiving preventive measures, they can infect their child. Without Preventive measures transmission rate is 15 to 45 percent. Several factors such as sever stage of HIV and AIDS ,CD4 low count, high viral loud, acute retroviral phase, STDs, vaginal delivery, ...
متن کاملUrine methyl malonic acid levels in HIV-infected adults with peripheral neuropathy
Background: Cobalamin deficiency and peripheral neuropathy (PN) are commonly seen in HIV-infected adults. The level of urine methylmalonic acid (UMMA), a reliable indicator of tissue cobalamin status, was determined in HIV infected subjects with and without PN to establish this association. Methods: One hundred and ninety-eight (198) consenting HIV infected subjects with and without PN were rec...
متن کاملTissue-resident macrophages can contain replication-competent virus in antiretroviral-naive, SIV-infected Asian macaques.
SIV DNA can be detected in lymphoid tissue-resident macrophages of chronically SIV-infected Asian macaques. These macrophages also contain evidence of recently phagocytosed SIV-infected CD4+ T cells. Here, we examine whether these macrophages contain replication-competent virus, whether viral DNA can be detected in tissue-resident macrophages from antiretroviral (ARV) therapy-treated animals an...
متن کاملObstetric and Gynaecological Aspects of Hiv Infection
The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has increased among the female population worldwide, and to a lesser extent in Finland. The problems associated with HIV infection among women especially concern the effects on pregnancy, vertical transmission, contraception and prevention of HIV horizontal transmission, and the increased risk of cervical premalignant lesions and ca...
