Background: The prevalence of fatty liver disease in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) is significantly higher than general population. This study aims to compare the burden Egyptian PLHIV using both metabolic dysfunction-associated (MAFLD) and steatotic (SLD) criteria. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional was conducted on attending HIV reference center at Embaba Fever Hospital Egypt between November 2019 July 2021. Data collection included demographics,...
Identifying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine acceptance and associated factors among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Middle East North Africa region is important to meet need for broad-scale vaccination against COVID-19.To investigate COVID-19 rate PLHIV region.An online cross-sectional survey was conducted currently Egypt, Tunisia Saudi Arabia between March 2021 August 2021.Of 540 respondents, 19.3% reported already being vaccinated (n = 104), 32.0% responded 'definitely...
Egypt used to have one of the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection prevalence rates worldwide, with an estimated HCV around 4.5% 6.7%.To determine incidence rate amid Egyptian patients living HIV.A total 460 HIV-positive were recruited in a retrospective cohort study from Imbaba Fever Hospital, Cairo, between January 2016 and March 2019. The had negative baseline at least other antibody test. Hepatitis testing was done by sandwich third-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay....
Abstract Background We aimed to assess serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) concentrations in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) patients and evaluate the effect of vitamin supplementation on their treatment course. Methods Serum 25(OH)D3concentrations were measured 47 newly diagnosed EPTB 42 controls. Vitamin D-deficient randomly assigned receive 50,000 IU (cholecalciferol) orally once a week for 6 weeks (total 300,000 IU), followed by maintenance doses 1000 day besides anti-TB drugs or...
Background This study aimed to evaluate the retention in care among a cohort of Egyptian people living with HIV (PLWHIV). Method The was conducted on PLWHIV attending Kasr Alainy and Viral Hepatitis Centre, Cairo, Egypt, from January 1, 2019, March 31, 2023. were considered not retained if there no documented clinical visit or viral load (VL) CD4 count test for more than 6 months their last recorded test. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used factors associated care. Results After...
The Southern African Journal of HIV Medicine is focused on HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention and related topics relevant to clinical public health practice. purpose the journal disseminate original research results support high-level learning Medicine. It publishes articles, editorials, case reports/case series, reviews state-of-the-art practice correspondence.
This study investigates different barriers preventing a cohort of Egyptian HIV/HCV coinfected patients from accessing HCV treatment, despite being available and free charge, aiming to improve the long-term outcomes decreasing their liver-related morbidity mortality.This included HIV who were referred Kasr Alainy Viral Hepatitis Center receive treatment had continue pretreatment assessment in order direct acting antiviral agents charge. Patients did not attend within 90 d questioned via...
Liver disease has emerged as a leading cause of death among PLHIV coinfected with HCV.A retrospective study involving all HCV viremic patients HIV who presented to HCV/HIV multidisciplinary clinics located at Embaba fever hospital. Patients were assigned receive DAAs according the national treatment guidelines. The primary endpoint was SVR12.Of 519 enrolled, 38.73% LTFU; either not initiated (n = 170) or did complete 31). main identified reasons behind LTFU schedule conflict (19%)...
HIV-related stigma and discrimination (SAD) have imposed serious adverse health consequences on people living with HIV (PLHIV), including limited access to medical care delayed diagnosis, which in turn limits the prevention control of disease. This study was conducted explore stigmatizing attitudes behaviors healthcare workers (HCWs) towards patients PLHIV.A cross-sectional targeted HCWs who attended United Conference Hepatogastroenterology Infectious Diseases that held 25-28 September 2019...
Purpose: The Federal Republic of Sudan has experienced 13 outbreaks undifferentiated febrile illness (UFI) associated with haemorrhage and high case fatality rates (CFR) since 2012. As a range consequence pathogens is endemic in Sudan, these are significant concern. We investigated 2015-16 UFI outbreak Darfur (469 cases, CFR 25.6%) to explore aetiologies, inform public health interventions promote development diagnostic capacity. Methods & Materials: extracted clinical epidemiological data...
Herein, A study of corrosion inhibition mild steel (MS) in 1.0 M HCl by Tetraclinis articulata extract as a green inhibitor had been achieved via chemical and electrochemical methods.Open circuit potential (OCP), Potentiodynamic polarization, impedance spectroscopy frequency modulation tests examined.Adsorption & thermodynamic activation parameters recorded evaluated.Temperature effect on the range between 298-328 K evaluated.The samples surface morphology existence nonexistence evaluated...
Abstract Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–hepatitis C (HCV) co-infection is increasing due to their similar routes of transmission. Co-infection poses a big challenge. Information on the prevalence HCV infection in Egyptian HIV individuals scarce. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted 1004 who were recruited from July 2018 March 2019. Blood samples obtained subsequently screened for antibodies using Murex anti-HCV (version 4) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test. RNA...
