In order to understand AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), we need to discuss two major biological phenomena: the virus that causes AIDS, known as human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and the cells in the immune system that are by HIV. Only when both are described does the disease begin to make sense. We begin by extending our earlier description of how the immune system works and then exa...

Reactivation of chronic Chagas' disease is a rare condition and occurs only in immunosuppressed patients. We report a case of a patient with a rapid and fatal reactivation of Chagas' disease, manifested by meningoencephalitis, which lead to a diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We believe there is sufficient evidence to include the reactivation of Chagas' disease among the d...

Today, it is estimated that the infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus affects 42 million people worldwide. In Brazil 1,200,000 individuals are infected, and 257,780 of them have the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS currently accounts for 1.41% of reported deaths in Brazil, a number that is decreasing owing to the national antiretroviral treatment distribution polic...

Aims & Scope Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is an etiological agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) that has infected more than 75 million people since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. Nearly half have died, currently more than 35 million people live with HIV, and in 2012 alone there was an estimated 2.3 million new HIV infections. In the absence of an effective vaccine, ant...

primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of liver is a very rare malignancy. here we report a case of primary hepatic burkitt’s lymphoma in a 34-year old man who was known case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and presented with weight loss, abdominal pain, and fever. positive laboratory findings were mild anemia and elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and alkaline phosphatase (alp)....

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is most notable for its role in directly infecting and killing CD4 T cells the immune system, which can lead to acquisition of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Currently, there are no cures HIV-1, leaving 37 million people with HIV-1 infections definitive treatment. Researchers working towards developing long-term treatments using CRISPR-Cas...

Provisional surveillance data about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) for the first 6 months of 1996 indicated a decrease in deaths among persons with AIDS, attributed primarily to the effect of antiretroviral therapies on the survival of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This report describes a decline in AIDS incidence during 1996 compared with 1995 and the con...
