Bilateral multiple parotid calculi, which are uncommonly diagnosed in the normal population, have never been reported in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Herein we report a case of bilateral parotid sialolithiasis in a patient who had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and was affected by multiple myeloma. The possible etiopathogenesis in view of the alterations of immunity,...

Disseminated infection with Cryptococcus neoformans was observed in a newborn infant who presented fever and respiratory symptoms since the 52 day of life. The mother was infected by human immunodeficiency virus and presented pulmonary and meningeal cryptococcal infection.

In the recent past there has been a significant improvement in the quality of life and vast reduction in Human Immunodeficiency Virusrelated mortality rates. The advent of antiretroviral therapy has largely contributed to this drastic increase in the life expectancy of Human Immunodeficiency Virus -infected individuals. In this review we have discussed about fertility issues in -infected people...

This paper proposes a Time Delay nonlinear dynamic model of HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1), introducing the drug consumption efficiencies as the controlling input for the model. The paper also represents the fuzzy T-S representation and the corresponding Fuzzy T-S controller. The controller parameters are tuned using LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities). The main focus is on the stabi...
