- Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated risk factors among people living with HIV in a rural population of Limpopo Province, South Africaby Joel Choshi on July 26, 2024
CONCLUSION: Chronic kidney disease was prevalent in PLWH, and it was further associated with cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes, and ageing. As PLWH age, the burden of CKD may be increased with the increase in cardiovascular-related comorbidities such as diabetes.
- Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis and pneumonia in a HIV positive patient: A case reportby Hamed Mehdinezhad on July 26, 2024
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGES: Early diagnosis of cryptococcal infection is the key to improving outcomes, any newly diagnosed HIV patient presenting with subacute or chronic headache, particularly those who are CD4-deplete, should be investigated for cryptococcal meningitis. We had some delay in our patient management, including delay in HIV diagnosis, delay in doing LP and delay in initiation of anti-cryptococcal treatment and also early start of ART before specific cryptococcal treatment exacerbated...
- Temporal changes in plasma metabolic signatures to predict immune response of antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIVby Junnan Li on July 26, 2024
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is an effective treatment for people living with HIV (PLHIVs), requiring an extended period to achieve immune reconstitution. Metabolic alterations induced by ART are crucial for predicting long-term therapeutic responses, yet comprehensive investigation through large-scale clinical studies is still lacking. Here, we collected plasma samples from 108 PLHIVs to the untargeted plasma metabolomics study, based on the longitudinal metabolomics design. Cross-sectional...
- Interleukin-2-mediated CD4 T-cell activation correlates highly with effective serological and T-cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in people living with HIVby Akshita Gupta on July 26, 2024
People living with HIV (PLWH) despite having an appreciable depletion of CD4^(+) T-cells show a good severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination response. The underlying mechanism(s) are currently not understood. We studied serological and polyfunctional T-cell responses in PLWH receiving anti-retroviral therapy stratified on CD4^(+) counts as PLWH-high (CD4 ≥ 500 cells/mm³) and PLWH-low (<500 cells/mm³). Responses were assessed longitudinally before the first vaccination (T0),...
