Clinical presentation of abdominal tuberculosis in HIV seronegative adults [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe accurate diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis usually takes a long time and requires a high index of suspicion in clinic practice. Eighty-eight immune-competent patients with abdominal tuberculosis were grouped according to symptoms at presentation and followed prospectively in order to investigate the effect of symptomatic ...

Reduced capacity of antibodies from patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group O to neutralize primary isolates of HIV-1 group M viruses [PDF]
Neutralizing antibody patterns in sera of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) groups M and a to their homologous and heterologous primary isolates were determined in a peripheral blood mononuclear cell-based neutralization ...

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), a rare cause of anemia limited to the erythroid lineage, is characterized by normocytic normochromic anemia, severe reticulocytopenia, and markedly reduced or absent erythroid precursors in the bone marrow. We report a 44‐year‐old male with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) secondary to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney ...

Background Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) refers to the detection of HBV DNA in blood or liver tissue in individuals who test negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), excluding the early phase of acute HBV infection. This hidden form of infection represents a substantial but frequently underestimated risk to blood transfusion safety,

Relating the outcome of HCV infection and different host SNP polymorphisms in a Majorcan population coinfected with HCV–HIV and treated with pegIFN-RBV [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major causes of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and the development of HCV-related disease is accelerated in individuals coinfected with human immunodeficiency-1 virus (HIV).

HCV re‐infection is common after spontaneous clearance of the initial infection. In the rare group of super‐clearers who clear repeatedly, HCV‐specific CD8+ T memory stem cells (TSCM) retain stemness, proliferation, and multipotency, sustaining immune protection. In contrast, clearer chronics lose these properties.
