Background: Human immunodeficiency virus attacks CD4 cells primarily. Current count is a strong predictor of the immediate risk acquired immune deficiency syndrome or death. Antiretroviral therapy results in an improvement immunologic status, one feature which increase cell count.Objectives: To study effect on & WHO staging among people living with HIV/AIDS.Methodology: A retrospective cros...

Pneumonia is still a major problem in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, and despite extensive investigation the aetiology remains unknown in many cases. The prevalence of the eight human herpesviruses was determined by polymerase chain reaction in 91 samples of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from 72 HIV-infected patients with 91 episodes of suspected pneumonia. The prese...

Abstract Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is the most fatal adult in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). There no conclusive evidence for superiority of 1-week amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmphB) + flucytosine (5-FC) regimen over other antifungals management HIV CM (HIV–CM patients). We aimed to evaluate differences efficacy and tolerability different antifungal agents HIV–CM by condu...

Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are often infected with a number of other heterologous viruses in addition to the initial human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and these agents could act as potential reactivating agents of latent HIV. A new antigenically distinct herpesvirus, designated human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), has recently been isolated from patients with AI...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains one of the greatest challenges twenty-first century in absence an effective vaccine or cure. It is estimated globally that close to 38 million people are currently living with HIV and more than 36 have succumbed this deadly from time first case was reported early 1980s. degrades body immunity makes it vulnerable different kinds opportunistic infect...

DeVol; Candidate, Masters of Science, 2003 Thesis Directed by: Gerald V. Quinnan, Jr., M.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Preventive Medicine Human immunode...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis accelerates the progression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. The results of this study, which show that thalidomide inhibits the upregulation of HIV-1 expression in U1 cells stimulated with mycobacterial lipoarabinomannans, support the rationale behind conducting controlled trials of this immunodeficiency agent with patients dually infected wi...

Abstract: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a contagious and chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium can occur in individuals including those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The combination of these diseases aggravate an individual's health condition. Chest X-ray examination important for the diagnosis this disease. This study aimed to review chest patients pulmonary TB HIV at Prof....

Reverse transcriptase from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was found to have kinetic behavior similar to that of enzyme from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Michaelis constants for the substrates TTP and dGTP and inhibition constants for the inhibitors 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, 2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, and 2'-3'-dideoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate w...
