Introduction and objective: Laryngeal leishmaniasis is a rare disease that should be considered in patients presenting with hoarseness or dyspnea having risk factors as immunodeficiency (systemic local) previous Leishmania infections

BACKGROUND Immunodeficiency is a heterogenous group of diseases affecting different components of the immune system. Patterns of infection, etiology and organ involvement are not similar in this risky population. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of congenital and acquiring immunodeficiencies and also recognizing the most common infections and affected organs. MATERIALS AND...

BACKGROUND The hepatitis B, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency viruses and Treponema pallidum are important causes of infectious diseases concern to public health. METHODS Between 2010 and 2014, we used an automated chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay to detect the hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency viruses as well as Treponema pallidum (the rapid plasma regain test...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and an increased susceptibility to recurrent infections as well as autoimmunity and malignancies. idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (aiha) are two autoimmune disorders which may be seen in association with cvid. among 85 cvid patients, seve...

the (bacille calmette-gue´rin) bcg is widely practiced in many countries in pediatric group and is a part of routine vaccination program at birth in ir. iran for prophylaxis against tuberculosis, but its efficacy is a matter of debate in different geographic and ethnic regions. adverse reactions induced by bcg vaccination ranges from bcg adenitis, osteitis, and cold abscess at vaccination site ...

human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection has been associated with cardiac disease, including anatomical or functional disturbance to the heart. cardiomyopathy (cmp) is one of these disturbances that have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. in this review article, several aspects of potential relationships between hiv infection and cardiomyopathy development have been...

background: bacillus calmette-guérin (bcg) vaccination is recommended for newborn infants worldwide to prevent tuberculosis. however, complications do occur inevitably in a very low rate, among which the most serious is disseminated disease. the disseminated bacillus calmette–guérin disease is a rare disease with high fatality, and can be seen among persons with an underlying immunodeficiency. ...

INTRODUCTION Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus involves an obligatory step of reverse transcription of the viral ribonucleic acid genome into a double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid, and subsequent integration of the deoxyribonucleic acid into the human chromatin to form the proviral deoxyribonucleic acid. This proviral human immunodeficiency virus deoxyribonucleic acid is a criti...

Comorbidities in human immunodeficiency virus infection are of great interest due to their association with unfavorable outcomes and failure of antiretroviral therapy. This study evaluated the prevalence of coinfection by human immunodeficiency virus and viral hepatitis in an endemic area for hepatitis B in the Western Amazon basin. Serological markers for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus a...
