A Time Scales Approach to Coinfection by Opportunistic Diseases

Prevalence of Coinfection Helicobacter pylori with Non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacters Species in Patients Suffering from Gastric Diseases in Iran

Introduction: In addition to Helicobacter pylori, non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacters (NHPHs) have been diagnosed in the humans stomach that caused gastrointestinal diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the coinfection of H. pylori with NHPHs species in patients with gastric disorders in Iran.   Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 421 gastric biopsies form dysp...

Onset of opportunistic infections in patients co-infected by HTLV-1 and HIV-1, with high CD4+ cells count.

We reported two cases of patients with coinfection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I who developed opportunistic infections despite of relatively high CD4+ cells count. These cases showed clinical evidence to consider an earlier antiretroviral treatment for coinfected patientes regardless CD4+ cells counts.

Hepatitis virus coinfection in the Strategic Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (SMART) study: a marker for nonliver, non-opportunistic disease mortality.

Clinical outcomes and disease progression among patients coinfected with HIV and human T lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2.

The goal of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes and survival probabilities among persons coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T lymphotropic viruses types 1 and 2 (HTLV-I/II). A nonconcurrent cohort study of 1033 HIV-infected individuals was also conducted. Sixty-two patients were coinfected with HTLV-I, and 141 patients were coinfected with HTLV-II. HTLV-I/I...

The influence of HCV coinfection on clinical, immunological and virological responses to HAART in HIV-patients.

The potential impact of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on clinical, immunological and virological responses to initial highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is important to evaluate due to the high prevalence of HIV-HCV coinfection. A historical cohort study was conducted among 824 HIV-infected patients starting HAART at a public ...
