Therapeutic Response of HIV‐1 Subtype C in African Patients

Therapeutic response of HIV-1 subtype C in African patients.

Therapeutic response of HIV-1 subtype C in African patients coinfected with either Mycobacterium tuberculosis or human herpesvirus-8.

BACKGROUND A potential confounding factor in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Africa is the frequent occurrence of opportunistic infections (OIs). OI-induced immune activation can interfere with HIV-1 clearance by increasing viral replication and target cell availability. STUDY DESIGN Treatment outcomes for patients dually infected with HIV-1 and Mycobacterium ...

Factors influencing therapeutic response to peginterferron plus ribavirin in the different genotypes of chronic hepatitis C

 Abstract Background: Different factors like age, sex, route of infection, initial viral load, levels of liver function tests and genotypes may affect response to treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of these factors in the treatment of these patients. Methods: From 2004 to 2012, different genotypes of chronic HCV (Hepatitis C ...

Plasma viral loads during early HIV-1 infection are similar in subtype C- and non-subtype C-infected African seroconverters.

Recent data suggest that infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype C results in prolonged high-level viremia (>5 log10 copies/mL) during early infection. We examined the relationship between HIV-1 subtype and plasma viremia among 153 African seroconverters. Mean setpoint viral loads were similar for C and non-C subtypes: 4.36 vs 4.42 log10 copies/mL (P = .61). The propo...
