Background Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is considered a risk factor for progression of liver disease in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This disease progression is reported to be more significant in those with concomitant HIV infection. We aimed to determine the prevalence rate of OBI in a sample of HIV-positive patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty-six HIV-infected pati...
objectives: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is one of the major public health problems worldwide which is transmitted through contact with infected blood or blood products. one of the most prevalent modes of hcv transmission is injecting drug with unclean needles or syringes. therefore intravenous drug users (ivdus) are the most important group who should be considered. the aim of this study was to eva...
Improved awareness of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission has contributed to the overall decline in the HCV infection rate in some developing countries including Thailand. Chronic HCV infection in some rural Thai communities, however, presents a challenge in the efforts to treat and manage HCV-related diseases. Published and unpublished studies have suggested an unusually high incidence of...
BACKGROUND To assess efficacy and safety of treatment simplification to co-formulated Rilpivirine/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir (RPV/FTC/TDF) in virologically suppressed patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Endpoints of the analysis were: (a) treatment discontinuation of RPV/FTC/TDF for any reasons and (b) occurrence of virological failure (VF) defined as confirmed HIV-RNA >50 cp/mL). RESULTS Overall,...
INTRODUCTION Late HIV diagnosis is common and associated with an increased risk of clinical progression, blunted immune response on antiretroviral (ARV) therapy and higher risk of drug toxicity. Across Europe, more than a third of patients are diagnosed late and consequently delay medical care. European Consensus definition group identify as late presentation (LP) persons, presenting for care, ...
Increased incidence of sexually transmitted diseases in the recent years: data from the ICONA cohort
INTRODUCTION Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) data collected in HIV+ patients could be used as indicator of risky sexual behaviour possibly linked to HIV transmission. We described the STDs incidence over time and identified higher incidence factors. METHODOLOGY All patients in the ICONA Foundation Study enrolled after 1998 were included. STDs considered: any-stage syphilis, human papillo...
مالاریا یک بیماری پروتوزئری است که توسط 4 گونه پلاسمودیوم فالسی پاروم، ویواکس، اوال و مالاریه در انسان ایجاد بیماری می کند. انتقال پلاسمودیوم به طور عمده به انسان از طریق نیش پشه آنوفل ماده صورت می گیرد اما راه های انتقال دیگری از جمله انتقال از طریق خون یا سر سوزن آلوده نیز ذکر شده اســت. ایران از نظــر انتقال مالاریا به 3 منطقــه تقسیــم می شود که عبارتند از: 1- شمال رشته کوه زاگرس 2- جنوب و ...
BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a major health problem in Puerto Rico (PR). More than 50% of the population is insured by a government-sponsored managed care system that does not cover treatment for CHC. Lack of access to treatment will result in an increase in end-stage liver disease with its high socioeconomic impact in the future. In an attempt to identify strategies for the treatmen...
Background The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is elevated in alcoholic patients, but the risk factors are unclear. The role of parenteral risk factors are indeterminated in this population. Aims To determine the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in alcoholic patients admitted to a detoxifi cation unit and to evaluate the presence of underlying parenteral risk factors. M...
