background: human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) makes infected cases prone to opportunistic infections like tuberculosis (tb) due to impaired immunity of the body, especially multi drug resistant (mdr) ones which are a major concern. with hiv outbreak starting late in the 20th century, the international health community is observing a huge rise in the incidence of this complex disease. herein, w...

conclusions fulminant hepatitis b is associated with distinct mutational patterns of hbv, underlining that genomic diversity of the virus is an important factor determining its pathogenicity. results the most commonly detected diversities affect regulatory motifs of hbv in the core and s region, indicating that these alterations may convert the virus to an aggressive strain. moreover, mutations...

background & objective: interleukin (il)-10 is an important anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory cytokine. some authors believe that single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) in the promoter region of the il-10 gene have been associated with susceptibility to hiv infection and progression to aids, but its role is not clearly defined yet. the present study was undertaken to evaluate the associ...
