HIV-related Immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of acquiring opportunistic infections. This report describes a 69-year-old man, referred to hospital with decreased consciousness and productive cough. This man was a known case of human immunodeficiency virus positive. The sputum of this patient was positive for Salmonella typhimurium. Pulmonary auscultation signaled brief...

Pediatric Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is expected to increase by greater than 75% by 1993. Most of these infants will become infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) through the mother. It is unclear exactly how the virus is passed from mother to child. The nature of HIV infection is described in this paper, and several mechanisms relevant to its transfer are proposed.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transactivator Tat is a potent activator of both viral and cellu‌lar genes. Tat has also been implicated in the development of AIDS-related malignancy. Here, we show that Tat physically and functionally is able to sequester the cell cycle check point protein p53. This sequestration results in non-functional promoter activity of cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin i...

background: because dental staff members are in continuous contact with blood and contaminated fluids of patients, they are considered as a high risk group. their knowledge about standard precautions is thus important in preventing infectious diseases such as hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). the purpose of this study was to estimate the injuries that occur in dental staff and t...

Introduction The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. As the infection progresses, the immune system becomes weaker, and the person becomes more susceptible to infections. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The present study aimed to evaluate the eff...

Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening condition caused by an invasive, opportunistic, encapsulated saprophytic fungus, either Cryptococcus neoformans or gattii most often in immunocompromised patients, especially those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Overwhelming invasive infection of immunocompetent patients rather uncommon, and diagnosis challenging due to more indolent cours...

HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is a virus that targets the body’s immune system and weakens it so struggles to defend against other pathogens designed harm body. In order enhance health decrease transmission of patients who have HIV are treated with antiretroviral therapy, ART, treatment seeks reduce replication by disrupting specific portion cycle. However, while does vertical between m...
