The progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) has been associated with severe disease and high risk of death among people living HIV (PLWHIV). Therefore, the purpose this multicenter, prospective, double-blinded study done in ten Mexican hospitals was to determine diagnostic accuracy detecting Histoplasma capsulatum antigen urine using IMMY ALPHA EIA kit (IAHE), clarus GM Enzyme Immunoassay (cHGEI IMMY) MiraVista Urine Antigen LFA (MVHUALFA); as well Hcp100 1281-1283220SCAR nested PCRs...
Background The Histoplasma urine antigen (HUAg) is the preferred method to diagnose progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) in HIV patients. In 2007, IMMY ALPHA EIA was approved for clinical on-site use, and therefore useful regions outside United States. However, ALPHA-HUAg considered inferior MVista-HUAg which only available on referral. We aim evaluate diagnostic accuracy of ALPHA-HUAg. Methodology/Principal findings conducted a multicenter, prospective, test study two secondary...
OBJETIVO: Determinar las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los casos con tuberculosis (TB) activa en población cárceles VIH, que se ve especialmente afectada por ambas epidemias. La infección VIH incrementa significativamente la probabilidad del desarrollo TB. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio cohorte sujetos infectados e internados reclusorio Ciudad México. RESULTADOS: encontraron 172 pacientes 28 TB (16.3%) - 21 (12.2%) afección pulmonar una tasa incidencia 7.7 100...
Objectives Early initiation of antiretroviral therapy ( ART ) during acute HIV infection is associated with favourable clinical and epidemiological outcomes. Barriers to prompt treatment limit the benefits universal access in Mexico. We sought create an algorithm for immediate detection patients infection. Methods A nationwide cohort was created 2015. In order identify cases treat them promptly at our centre, interdisciplinary group coordinated through instant‐messaging tool using smart...
ARV treatment (ART) administered during acute HIV-infection presents several immunological benefits leading to a better CD4+ T-cell recovery and diminished HIV reservoir. Patients with HIV-infection, enrolled in the VIHIA cohort, had blood samples taken at diagnosis 2, 6 12 months after ART initiation. Flow-cytometry analysis was performed fresh whole blood. Naïve-(Nv), central memory (CM), effector (EM) terminally differentiated T-cells (TMRA), as well activation markers were defined using...
