THE RATE OF TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION IN HIV POSITIVE PATIENTS IN RELATION TO CD4 COUNT

Predictors of CD4+ cell count response and of adverse outcome among HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy in a public hospital in Peru.. Falster

HIV positive patients in Colombia. The objectives of this study were: i) to determine the frequency of serologic evidence of HBV and HCV infection in a group of HIV infected

Medical charts and radiographs from 38 HIV-infected patients with positive cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage were reviewed

Conclusion: Both traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease and factors associated with HIV infection itself, such as an increased CD4 cell count and a longer exposure

Objectives: To determinate the diagnostic yield of sputum induction in the diagnosis of lung diseases in HIV-positive patients.. Method: Subjects were selected from among

Results: There were 113 HIV-positive patients (49%) Comparing the 113 HIV-positive patients (49%) to the 118 HIV-negative patients (51%), the former presented a higher frequency of

Patients were included in the study sample if: (1) they entered into expert care (defined as HIV-1 RNA viral load and CD4 cell count tests occur- ring within one week of each

DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION: Coexistence of bacterial infection is quite commonly seen in HIV patients but other bacterial infections in sputum positive pulmonary
