BACKGROUND Nontyphoidal strains of Salmonella are a leading cause of death among HIV-infected Africans. Antibody-induced complement-mediated killing protects healthy Africans against Salmonella, but increased levels of anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antibodies in some HIV-infected African adults block this killing. The objective was to understand how these high levels of anti-LPS antibodies inte...

Moronic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid made up of olean-18-ene with an oxo group at position 3 and carboxy 28. It's from oleanane hydride. A few investigations have demonstrated that wide scope pharmacological effects such as Antidiabetic activity, Anti-AIDS agents, Chemotherapeutic Virus lytic, Anti-HIV, Cytotoxic Anti-herpes, Antimicrobial Ribosome-loaded mRNAs.

The anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity of aryloxyphosphoramidate protides of a number of anti-HIV nucleoside analogues was assessed in resting primary monocyte-macrophages (M/M). While 2',3'-dideoxythymidine (d4T), 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (ddA), and 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydroadenosine (d4A) protides showed an anti-HIV activity that was 25- to 625-fold greater than the parent nuc...

(1) BACKGROUND: There are limited data regarding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence among hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected individuals. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of HBV and HCV infection among HIV individuals; (2) METHODS: A total of 409 patients (126 HBV+ and 283 HCV+) referred to the Brazilian Reference Laborator...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the early anti-HIV activity of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a and ribavirin in HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infected patients not receiving antiretroviral therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In 19 patients with baseline plasma HIV load (HIV-RNA) >1000 copies/mL treated with PEG-IFN alfa-2a and ribavirin, HIV-RNA and T-cell subsets were measured at baseline and 2, 4 ...

The current review evaluates how inflammasomes and immune checkpoints are regulated in pre-eclampsia (PE) associated with tuberculosis (TB) Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV). Studies indicate that such as (NRLP3, NEK7, AIM2) (CLT4, PD-1, TIM3, LAG-3) dysregulated TB- HIV-infected individuals, also pre-eclamptic pregnancies, which explains why pregnant women who either infected TB or HIV have ...

it is estimated that the number of hiv infected children globally has increased from 1.6 million in 2001 to 3.3 million in 2012. the number of children below 15 years of age living with hiv has increased worldwide. published data from recent studies confirmed dramatic survival benefit for infants started anti-retroviral therapy (art) as early as possible after diagnosis of hi. early confirmatio...

conclusions in conclusion, the prevalence of hbv infection was low in the south of iran, but genotype d represented the major hbv genotype in this population. among the variables, age, duration of hd, history of blood transfusion, and using shared hd devices influenced the prevalence of hbv among hd patients. results both kinds of assay determined that nine (5.88%) patients were hbv positive (h...

background due to the increase of hiv patients’ survival, rheumatologic symptoms associated with hiv such as septic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and other manifestations have increased. also, diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) and rheumatoid arthritis (ra) can be intensified during aids. objectives the aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence and natur...
