[Secondary diseases in patients with HIV infection: 15-year follow-up].

Authors:
T N Ermak A V Kravchenko B M Gruzdev

Ter Arkh 2004 ;76(4):18-20

Aim: To analyse the results of a 15-year study of opportunistic diseases in AIDS patients.

Material And Methods: The spectrum of opportunistic diseases were made in AIDS patients in respect to clinical, laboratory and autopsy data for the periods: 1987-1992 (n = 27, 25 deaths--92.6%), 1993-1997 (n = 95, 58 deaths--61.8%), 1998-1999 (n = 70, 28 deaths--40%), 2000-2001 (n = 126, 31 deaths--24.6%), 2002 (n = 80, 32 deaths--40%).

Results: The spectrum of opportunistic diseases in AIDS patients was determined for the above time periods and causes underlying these diseases have been determined.

Conclusion: Among opportunistic diseases associated with HIV infections most prevalent were the following: tuberculosis, cytomegaloviral infections, cerebral toxoplasmosis. Leading modern trends were identified: increasing morbidity of AIDS, tuberculosis, new AIDS cases at late stages with severe opportunistic diseases (2/3 of deaths).

Comparison of pneumonia- and non-pneumonia-related Acinetobacter baumannii complex bacteremia: A single-center retrospective study.

Authors:
Jun Xu Yulu Xu Xia Zheng

Am J Infect Control 2022 Aug 7. Epub 2022 Aug 7.

Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, P. R. China. Electronic address:

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) is a group of increasingly prevalent opportunistic pathogens that cause a variety of life-threatening nosocomial infections, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU). This study assessed the differences between pneumonia- and non-pneumonia-related ABC bacteremia and possible independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.

Methods: The clinical data of ICU patients diagnosed with ABC bacteremia at a tertiary care hospital from January 2009 to December 2020 were collected, and sorted into groups of ABC bacteremia with and without pneumonia. Read More

Differential Expression of miRNA-192 is a Potential Biomarker for HIV Associated Immune Recovery Uveitis.

Authors:
Durairaj Duraikkannu Ashraf Banu Akbar Sridharan Sudharshan Selvamuthu Poongulali Nagalingeswaran Kumarasamy Tamilselvan Jayavelu Nivedita Chatterjee

Ocul Immunol Inflamm 2022 Aug 10:1-10. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

L&T Department of Ocular Pathology, Vision Research Foundation, Chennai, India.

Purpose: Notwithstanding well-established clinical features of Immune Recovery Uveitis (IRU), specific diagnostic tools to identify at-risk patients are lacking. Identification of biomarkers for IRU prediction can allow high-risk patients to benefit from specific preventive strategies, development of therapies, and elucidate immune reconstitution associated pathogenesis.

Methods: HIV+ patients were classified into four groups (A, B, C and D) with and without ocular manifestations, with follow-up over a year. Read More

Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus microbiome/virome: new strategies for controlling arboviral transmission?

Authors:
Marcela Gómez David Martinez Marina Muñoz Juan David Ramírez

Parasit Vectors 2022 Aug 9;15(1):287. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

Centro de Investigaciones en Microbiología y Biotecnología-UR (CIMBIUR), Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia.

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of highly pathogenic viruses for humans, such as dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV), and Zika (ZIKV), which cause febrile, hemorrhagic, and neurological diseases and remain a major threat to global public health. The high ecological plasticity, opportunistic feeding patterns, and versatility in the use of urban and natural breeding sites of these vectors have favored their dispersal and adaptation in tropical, subtropical, and even temperate zones. Due to the lack of available treatments and vaccines, mosquito population control is the most effective way to prevent arboviral diseases. Read More
