Does severity of HIV disease in HIV-infected mothers affect mortality and morbidity among their uninfected infants?
BACKGROUND Rates of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission are higher among HIV-infected mothers with more advanced disease, but effects of maternal disease on HIV-uninfected offspring are unclear. We investigated the hypothesis that the severity of HIV disease and immune dysfunction among mothers is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among their uninfected inf...
متن کاملVitamin A, vitamin E, iron and zinc status in a cohort of HIV-infected mothers and their uninfected infants.
UNLABELLED Introduction: We hypothesized that nutritional deficiency would be common in a cohort of postpartum, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women and their infants. METHODS Weight and height, as well as blood concentrations of retinol, α-tocopherol, ferritin, hemoglobin, and zinc, were measured in mothers after delivery and in their infants at birth and at 6-12 weeks and six m...
متن کاملFeeding the infants of HIV-infected mothers.
Mother-to-child transmission is the predominant route of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in young children. In 2003, an estimated 2.5 million children under 15 years of age were living with HIV/AIDS, 700 000 were newly infected, and 500 000 died (1). HIV may be transmitted during pregnancy, labour and delivery, or by breastfeeding. About 5–20% of infants born to HIV-positive women ...
متن کاملOriginal Research: Anthropometric profile of HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected women
Obesity and human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), both recognised worldwide as significant public health concerns,1 place a heavy financial burden on South African health services and remain major challenges to professional heath promoters in this country. Similar to many developing countries, South Africa is experiencing a nutrition transition,2,3 associat...
متن کاملBrain Imaging and Neurodevelopment in HIV-uninfected Thai Children Born to HIV-infected Mothers.
BACKGROUND Perinatal use of combination antiretroviral therapy dramatically reduces vertical (mother-to-child) transmission of HIV but has led to a growing population of children with perinatal HIV-exposure but uninfected (HEU). HIV can cause neurological injury among children born with infection, but the neuroanatomical and developmental effects in HEU children are poorly understood. METHODS...
