bloodstream infections with salmonella typhi, is uncommon in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-infected persons. the symptoms in such patients are often non-specific and have a rather insidious onset and progression. we report a patient with sepsis and lower limb gangrene due to salmonella typhi infection in an hiv-infected patient.

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is caused by production of platelet autoantibody. Then ITP can be various viral infections, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C (HCV), cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, Zika virus and others [1].

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...

Both α- and β-defensins have anti-human immunodeficiency virus activity. These defensins achieve human immunodeficiency virus inhibition through a variety of mechanisms, including direct binding with virions, binding to and modulation of host cell-surface receptors with disruption of intracellular signaling, and functioning as chemokines or cytokines to augment and alter adaptive immune respons...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, there has been growing concern about an increasing rate of cardiovascular diseases in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, which could be associated with side effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy. It is likely that the metabolic disorders related to anti-human immunodeficiency virus treatment will eventually translate into a increased cardiova...
