ABSTRACT Cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common cerebral focal lesion in AIDS and still accounts for high morbidity mortality Brazil. Its occurrence more frequent patients with low CD4 + T-cell counts. It directly related to prevalence of anti- Toxoplasma gondii antibodies population. Therefore, it important evaluate sensitive, less invasive, rapid diagnostic tests. We evaluated value PCR using peripheral blood samples on diagnosis whether its association immunological assays can...
Abstract A severely immune-suppressed AIDS patient was suspected of suffering from BK virus (BKV) meningoencephalitis, after being studied for common causes neurological complications co-infectious origin. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis cerebrospinal fluid brain samples, confirmed the presence BKV. His clinical condition improved along with regression lesions, modifications on his antiretroviral regime. Five months discharge, readmitted because frequent headaches, a...
Life expectancy of HIV patients has increased over time. Older have a higher frequency noncommunicable diseases (NCD) than general population, and require multiple treatments. The main objective is to evaluate the changes in NCD polypharmacy three referral centers Salvador São Paulo. We compared use concomitant treatments patients, >50 years, Brazilian (São Paulo Salvador). Data on sociodemographic characteristics, therapy, CD4 count viral load measurements, at baseline last medical visit...
Tuberculosis (TB) causes 1 in 3 deaths among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Diagnosing and treating latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is critical to reducing TB incidence mortality. Blood-based screening tests (e.g., QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT+)) shorter-course preventive therapy (TPT) regimens such as 3HP (3 months weekly isoniazid-rifapentine) hold significant promise improve outcomes. We qualitatively explored barriers solutions optimizing QFT+ PLHIV three cities Brazil. conducted...
O uso a longo prazo dos antirretrovirais (ARVs) e suas toxicidades são um desafio no atual manejo de pessoas vivendo com HIV/aids (PVHA).
