Syphilis and HIV co-infection

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2009
Syphilis is a complex disease, which is sexually transmitted. The incidence of syphilis is rising all over the world, partly due to the increased transmission in HIV patients and other high risk groups such as men who have sex with men. Interestingly syphilis itself facilitates HIV infection in several ways.

CO-INFECTION WITH MALARIA AND LEPTOSPIROSIS

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003
Malaria and leptospirosis are both common in the tropics. Simultaneous infections are possible, although not previously reported. We report two cases of malaria from an area of Thailand on the Thailand-Myanmar border with compelling serologic evidence of simultaneous acute leptospirosis. One was a case of infection with Plasmodium falciparum with acute

The buffalo co-infection conundrum

Trends in Parasitology, 2015
Parasitic worms modulate host immunity, affecting co-infection with Mycobacterium bovis (BTB). Ezenwa and Jolles suggested that anthelmintic treatment reduced BTB-induced mortality, but increased BTB spread. Reduced mortality should be weighed against the risk of increasing pathogen spread when adopting this strategy for human treatment of ...

The immunology and ecology of co‐infection

Molecular Ecology, 2013
It's a wormy world. All natural vertebrate populations are subject to infection and re‐infection with helminth parasites (Stoll 1947). Even in humans, around one billion people in developing nations are infected by one or several of a range of helminth parasites (Lustigman et al. 2012).

Hepatitis C and HIV co-infection

International Journal of STD & AIDS, 2004
HIV accelerates progression of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease. There are conflicting data on the effect of HCV on the risk of HIV progression and CD4 response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Long-term prospective cohort studies are clearly required to resolve these issues.

HIV-1 vaccines and co-infection

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2004
Vaccines are an economically efficient means of controlling viral infections, and it is likely that a vaccine against HIV-1 will be the most effective way of controlling the global AIDS crisis. However, an effective vaccine has not yet been attainable and in developing countries co-infection with protozoa and other chronic diseases adds another level ...

Co-infection with HIV

2012
This chapter describes the epidemiology, current spread, and clinical aspects of HIV/Leishmania co-infection and highlights the recently released guidelines of WHO on their management. It discusses the development of resistant Leishmania strains for existing anti-Leishmania drugs and the complexity of chemotherapy for Leishmania/HIV co-infection, which
