If not, the liability … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAudit of the Quality of Data on Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection in 2022 in Burkina FasoIsmaël Diallo, Maurice Sarigda et al.Burkina Faso pledged to reach the worldwide objective of eliminating HIV/AIDS by 2030. Therefore, its information system must be able to provide quality data for monitoring and evaluating progress. This study assessed the quality of data on HIV/AIDS in Burkina Faso. We conducted an audit on the promptitude, exhaustivity, and exactitude in the management of data regarding HIV/AIDS. The survey … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 5 Jul 2025 · 5,753 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractEditorial Commentary: Challenge of Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers (NADCs), Focusing on Trans Activation Response Element (TAR) RNA Embedding ExosomesLechuang Chen, Ge JinGlobally, 37.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2018 (Organization, 2018). Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in AIDS patients and chronically HIV-infected people. With the aid of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) have a longer life span. However, because the virus is not completely eradicated, PLWH under antiretroviral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2019 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling the Efficacy of Antiretroviral Treatment in HIV Patients: Case of Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane, Gauteng Province, South AfricaMadimetja Marcus Motshwane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThis paper used survival analysis to evaluate the efficacy of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in HIV patients and also to determine if ARVs reduces the risk of HIV/AIDS. Secondary data were collected from files archived in Tshepang Clinic in Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane, Gauteng Province of South Africa. Survival time was regressed on influential variables that affect survival. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibody Responses to HIV-1 gp120 Hypervariable Regions in Six Long-Term Non-ProgressorsRebecca Rivera, Kyung Hee Kang, Murray B. Gardner et al.Our long-term goal is to discover the combination of host parameters that help some HIV-infected individuals to resist progression to AIDS. In this study, we examined antibody responses using multiple samples obtained from a cohort of Long-Term Non-Progressors (LTNPs). Our hypothesis is that antibody responses to variable regions of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein are involved in reducing the viral load … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2016 · 7,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Proposed Statistically-Derived Compromise Cut-off CD4 Count Value for HIV Patients to Start using ARVsMaria Mokgadi Lekganyane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThe study investigated the relationship between statistical outliers and the inconsistent values of the CD4 count recommended for starting the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) by HIV-positive patients. Low CD4 counts imply a low immune system. It could be due to AIDS existence or closeness to death. An effective treatment to curb HIV impact is ART, which is recommended for low CD4 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 29 Jun 2016 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNevirapine Hepatotoxicity: Implications of Risk FactorsElias Adikwu, Oputiri Deo, Oru-Bo Precious Geoffrey, D. Akuegbe EnimeyaHighly active antiretroviral therapy is used in the management of HIV/AIDS; it has contributed tremendously in the reduction of mortality and morbidity rate in HIV patients. Despite the outstanding achievement with the use of HAART its major limitation is toxicity. Among these toxicities is hepatotoxicity which is said to be associated with nevirapine containing highly active antiretroviral therapy. Recent reports … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2013 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealthcare Associated Infections in Intensive Care Units HIV Positive PatientsLisandra Serra Damasceno, Evelyne Santana Girao, Rafael Fonseca de Queiroz et al.Problem statement: Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) are frequent and important complications, most commonly affecting hospitalized patients in intensive care units. Hospital average length of stay is usually 5-10 days higher in these patients. In HIV positive/Aids patients HAI vary from 8,7 and 15% in prevalence. The aims of this study was to compare HAI data from HIV positive (HIV+) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite

Gram negative pathogens that elaborate beta-lactamases have been reported to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, especially amongst immunocompromised patients on intensive care and high-dependency units. The most common mechanism of β-lactam drug resistance in Escherichia coli include ESBL, AmpC production.
