conclusions more than 40% of the hemophilic patients under 20 years of age in the present study had no immunity against hepatitis a, and 23% of hepatitis c patients had not had a hepatitis a co-infection yet. since hepatitis a can show a fulminant course in hepatitis c patients, vaccination against hepatitis a seems necessary in hemophilic patients in the region. background hemophilic patients ...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether the LG Anti-HIV 1/2 Plus ELISA (LG Life Sciences, Seoul, Korea), a new third-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of HIV infection, has improved sensitivity and specificity in comparison to the other licensed third-generation assays. The sensitivity of the LG Anti-HIV 1/2 Plus ELISA was comparable to the Enzygnost Anti-HI...

background: due to their similar routes of transmission, human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and hepatitis b virus (hbv) co-infection occurs considerably. hbv infection progresses more rapidly in hiv-infected patients. therefore, hbv vaccination of all non-immune hiv infected patients is recommended. on the other hand, hiv-infected subjects have suboptimal responses to hbv vaccine. in this study...

Lectins including flowering plant lectins, algal lectins, cyanobacterial lectins, actinomycete lectin, worm lectins, and the nonpeptidic lectin mimics pradimicins and benanomicins, exhibit anti-HIV activity. The anti-HIV plant lectins include Artocarpus heterophyllus (jacalin) lectin, concanavalin A, Galanthus nivalis (snowdrop) agglutinin-related lectins, Musa acuminata (banana) lectin, Myrian...

amoebiasis caused by entamoeba histolytica (e. histolytica) is one of the most problematic parasitic infections worldwide. data regarding the effect of hiv-induced immunodeficiency on the status of e. histolytica infection are sparse in iran. this study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of anti-e. histolytica igg among iranian hiv patients. further, it determined whether the advancement of imm...

BACKGROUND HIV binding has been demonstrated in erythrocytes from HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals. However, the presence of immunoglobulins G anti-HIV (IgG anti-HIV) in erythrocytes from HIV-positive individuals is still to be elucidated. Moreover, the capacity of erythrocytes from HIV-positive individuals to capture an additional amount of HIV has not been studied. Indeed, it is unkn...

Bu çalışmada, sağlık çalışanlarında HAV, HBV, HCV seropozitifliğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Materyal Metot: Sağlık çalışanlarının serum örneklerinde HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV, anti-HAV IgG, anti-HBc IgG anti-HIV testleri kemilüminesans esasına dayanan ELISA yöntemi ile çalışıldı.Bulgular:...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and is a global public health issue. Anti-HIV therapy involving chemical drugs has improved the life quality of HIV/AIDS patients. However, emergence of HIV drug resistance, side effects and the necessity for long-term anti-HIV treatment are the main reasons for failure of anti-HIV therapy. Therefore,...

Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a disease pertained to the human immune system. Given its crucial role in viral replication, HIV-1 protease (HIV-1 PR) is a prime therapeutic target in AIDS therapy. In this regard, the dynamic aspects of ligand-enzyme interactions may indicate an important role of conformational variability in HIV-1 PR in...
