Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in children

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002
Recent advances in antiretroviral treatment have changed the landscape of pediatric HIV--not only has perinatal treatment markedly diminished HIV transmission rates, but highly active antiretroviral treatments (HAART) have, with few exceptions, transformed HIV into a chronic nonfatal disorder.

Cytokine regulation of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

International Journal of Immunopharmacology, 1991
The remarkable ability of HIV to insinuate itself into the working of the immune system is the key of its success as an infectious agent. Given that the cytokine network regulates the immune responses, it is not surprising that cytokines can modulate HIV infection. GM-CSF, IL6 and TNF-alpha enhance HIV, but TGF-beta and HIF inhibits the virus. However,

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Leukoencephalopathy and the Microcirculation

Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 1990
We studied the brains of three patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), all of whom developed subacutely progressive dementia unassociated with opportunistic infection or neoplasm in the central nervous system. Computed tomographic (CT) scans of the head revealed cortical atrophy, ventricular dilation, and diffuse hypodensity of the ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Associated Nephropathy

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Transmission in Dentistry

Journal of Dental Research, 2006
HIV transmission in the health-care setting is of concern. To assess the current position in dentistry, we have reviewed the evidence to November 1, 2005. Transmission is evidently rare in the industrialized nations and can be significantly reduced or prevented by the use of standard infection control measures, appropriate clinical and instrument ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection in Children

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1987
HIV infection in pediatric patients is a multisystem chronic disease that manifests as a clinical spectrum from asymptomatic infection through symptomatic infection with opportunistic infections and malignancies. The hematopoietic system is involved early in the systemic manifestations of this disease.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis

1993
Viral hepatitis is caused by five known enterically or parenterally transmitted viruses. The disease can be severe, especially in pregnancy, and chronic liver disease results from infection with two of the five agents. In addition, congenital infection may occur.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in developing countries

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 2006
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is causing the most destructive epidemic of recent times, having been responsible for the deaths of more than 25 million people since it was first recognised in 1981. This global epidemic remains out of control, with reported figures for 2005 of 40 million people infected with HIV.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection

2007
In the UK, GU medicine physicians provide much of the outpatient care, and in some hospitals also the in-patient care, for patients with HIV infection. The diagnosis still carries a certain stigma and may bring to the forefront emotions regarding past sexual relationships, sexuality, or drug abuse.
