1. Use of green fluorescent protein labeled non-tuberculous mycobacteria to evaluate the activity quaternary ammonium compound disinfectants and antibiotics
Abstract Although infections with NonTuberculous Mycobacteria have become less common in AIDS patients, they are important opportunistic infections after surgical procedures, likely because they are ubiquitous and not efficiently killed by many commonly used disinfectants. In Venezuela there have recently been many non-tuberculous mycobacteria soft tissue in

2. Classical and alternative macrophages have impaired function during acute and chronic HIV-1 infection
Abstract Objectives: Three decades after HIV recognition and its association with AIDS development, many advances have emerged – especially related to prevention and treatment. Undoubtedly, the development of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) dramatically changed the future of the syndrome that we know today. In the present study, we evaluate t

3. AssistÃncia odontolÃgica a pessoas portadoras de HIV/AIDS na rede pÃblica de saÃde de Fortaleza: polÃtica de atenÃÃo e atuaÃÃo do PSF
ApÃs duas dÃcadas dos primeiros registros da SÃndrome da ImunodeficiÃncia Adquirida (Aids) no Brasil, a assistÃncia à saÃde de pessoas com HIV/Aids ainda à um desafio. Nesse contexto, discute-se a necessidade de efetivar uma polÃtica de atenÃÃo integral a essa populaÃÃo, em especial à saÃde bucal, sendo que o Programa de SaÃde da FamÃlia (PS

4. Enteric parasitic infections in HIV/AIDS patients before and after the highly active antiretroviral therapy
Enteroparasites are related to gastrointestinal alterations among patients with HIV/AIDS, some causing severe manifestations in the period before the institution of the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The prevalence of enteroparasitoses in patients with HIV/AIDS seen at two hospitals in Ceará , Brazil, was compared in the pre-HAART (Group 1; n

5. ResistÃncia secundÃria aos anti-retrovirais em indivÃduos com AIDS e prevalÃncia de subtipos do HIV-1 no Nordeste do Brasil: 2002 a 2004
The treatment of HIV infection has contributed for the changing in the mobility and mortality profile of AIDS in Brazil, mainly since 1996, when the Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) begun to be used. In spite of the advance on HIV treatment, with reduction on opportunistic infections and hospitalizations, and an important increase on life expecta

6. Bloodstream infections in late-stage acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients evaluated by a lysis centrifugation system
Opportunistic infections, which affect acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Aids) patients, are frequently disseminated and may cause bloodstream infections (BSI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the main causes of BSI in Aids patients with advanced stage of the disease, with special emphasis on the identification of fungemia. During a 21 months period,

7. Cerebrospinal fluid concentration of fibronectin in patients with HIV-1 infection and central nervous system disorders.
AIMS--To evaluate the fibronectin concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of HIV-1 infected patients with central nervous system disorders. METHODS--Fibronectin was determined by an immunoturbidimetric assay in 41 HIV-1 infected patients with AIDS dementia complex, progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy, and opportunistic infections. RESULTS--A signifi

8. Production of and in vitro response to interleukin 2 in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
To test the hypothesis that deficient interleukin 2 (IL-2) secretion may underlie the impaired capacity of T cells from patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and the AIDS-related complex (ARC) to generate the macrophage-activating lymphokine, gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), we used five specific microbial antigens to examine IL-2 production.

9. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection of the brain.
Direct infection of the central nervous system by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of AIDS, was not appreciated in the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Neurological complications associated with AIDS were largely attributed to opportunistic infections that arose as a result of the immunocompromised state of the patient and to

10. Reduced carbon monoxide transfer factor (TLCO) in human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I) infection as a predictor for faster progression to AIDS.
BACKGROUND--In addition to the acute fall in carbon monoxide transfer factor (TLCO) associated with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) or other opportunistic lung infections, reduced TLCO occurs in HIV-I seropositive individuals without active pulmonary disease. Abnormal TLCO, in the absence of lung disease, may be a surrogate marker of HIV-I induced immun

11. Molecular cloning of feline immunodeficiency virus.
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a T-lymphotropic retrovirus associated with immunodeficiency and opportunistic infections in cats. The discovery of FIV provides an opportunity for the development of a small animal model for AIDS. To initiate the molecular and biological characterization of FIV, cDNA clones were synthesized and used to isolate a provir

12. Markers predicting progression of human immunodeficiency virus-related disease.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) interacts with the immune system throughout the course of infection. For most of the disease process, HIV activates the immune system, and the degree of activation can be assessed by measuring serum levels of molecules such as beta 2-microglobulin and neopterin, as well as other serum and cell surface phenotype markers. The
