Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDiagnosis Value of Bone Marrow Study in the Disseminated Infection by Mycobacteria: Case ReportAna Guadalupe Mauricio Campos, Francisco De Paz Andres, Paola Beneit et al.The bone marrow examination is useful in order to get an etiologic diagnosis of cytopenias and for the detection of opportunistic diseases in immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, its role in the diagnosis of invasive infections caused by mycobacterium has not been clearly defined. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to study anemia, diarrhea and constitutional syndrome … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2012 · 7,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMortality among HIV-Infected Patients in Resource Limited Settings: A Case Controlled Analysis of Inpatients at a Community Care CenterNirmala Rajagopalan, Joyce B. Suchitra, Anita Shet et al.Problem statement: Despite massive national efforts to scale up Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) access in India since 2004, the AIDS death rate was 17.2 per 100,000 persons during 2003-2005. In the era of HAART in resource poor settings, it is imperative to understand and address the causes of AIDS related mortality. This collaborative study aimed at defining the predictors of mortality … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBalancing Treatment and Prevention: The Case of HIV/AIDSJoseph Y.T. MugishaA mathematical model is formulated to study the effect of treatment of HIV/AIDS patients on the spread of the epidemic in a two-age group’s population. The model assumes the sexual transmission mode. A proportion δ, of the adult HIV/AIDS infects is assumed to be receiving treatment. The analysis of the model shows that treatment that is not accompanied by a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractCase Report and Review of Raoultella Planticola Urinary Tract InfectionChristina M. Richards, Eric R. MusialThis case report includes a brief review of Raoultella planticola infections in the literature and describes a case of a mildly immunocompromised patient who presents with signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection. Three days after hospitalization, the patient’s urine sample had a culture speciation of Raoultella planticola. The infection was found to be resistant only to ampicillin and the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2019 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractCryptococcal Meningoencephalitis in a Patient with Hyper IgM Syndrome Due to CD40 Deficiency: Case Report and Literature ReviewMaram Al-Banyan, Abdulhadi Alqahtani, Farrukh Sheikh et al.Hyper-IgM syndrome (HIGM) due to CD40 deficiency is a very rare form of combined immunodeficiency with increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Cryptococcus is an opportunistic infection usually affecting immunocompromised individuals. This is the first report to describe a patient with HIGM due to CD40 deficiency presenting with meningoencephalitis secondary to Cryptococcus infection. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2019 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Translocation and B Cell Dysfunction in Human Immunodeficiency Virus DiseaseWei JiangThe gut mucosal barrier disrupted in HIV disease, resulting in increased systemic exposure to microbial products such as Lipo Polys Accharide (LPS). The association of enhanced microbial translocation and B cell dysfunction in HIV disease is not fully understood. High dose and short term exposure of microbial Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) agonists were used as vaccine adjuvants, however, low dose and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2012 · 7,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Extended-Spectrum β Lactamases and AmpC β-Lactamase Production in Escherichia coli Causing Urinary Tract Infection among HIV and Non-HIV PatientsPadmavathy Kesavaram, Padma Krishnan, Rajasekaran SikhamaniProblem statement: Opportunistic infections have been documented as a leading cause of morbidity among HIV patients. 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. Approach: In … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility and Molecular Epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated in a Burn UnitHassan Salimi, Parviz Owlia, Bagher Yakhchali, Abdolaziz Rastegar LariProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that still develops life-threatening infections in patients with immunological system defects, like burn patients, especially in developing countries. Since this bacterium is naturally resistant to many drugs and is able to get resistance to all effective antibiotics, the infection with this organism is particularly problematic condition for patients. This study was design … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa UPM P3 from Oil Palm RhizosphereBadri Fariman Azadeh, Sariah MeonProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been used in agriculture as biological agents. It has shown substantial control of a variety of soil-borne plant pathogens including Macrophomina phaseolina, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum truncatum, Pythium, Fusarium and others. Species aggregate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain UPM P3 was shown to have potential as a biocontrol agent against Ganoderma boninense, the causal agent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
