Symptoms of AIDS Related Opportunistic Infections and Their Effects on Human Body
Journal of AIDS & Clinical Research, 2013 HIV viruses have long term effects for the immune systems and further develop a number of varied illnesses such as fever, diarrhea, tuberculosis, pneumonia and skin infections. This condition is termed as AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Once the immune system is sufficiently weakened, such infections will develop and produce any of a wide ...

Use of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification of DNA for the Rapid Detection of HIV/AIDS Related Opportunistic Infections (CMV &TB) in Clinical Specimens [PDF]
Journal of AIDS & Clinical Research, 2012 This review will describe about the loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and its advantages in detection of opportunistic infections in HIV infected individuals. HIV infection is the strongest risk factor for development of tuberculosis (TB) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) conversely both TB and CMV are the commonest HIV-associated opportunistic ...

A Mathematical Model for Co-infection Dynamics of Pneumocystis Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS with Treatment [PDF]
Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 12(4),
48-63 (2024), 2023 The control of opportunistic infections among HIV infected individuals should be one of the major public health concerns in reducing mortality rate of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. In this study a deterministic co-infection mathematical model is employed to provide a quantification of treatment at each contagious stage against Pneumocystis ...
