Despite serious public health consequences, its widespread prevalence, rising drug resistance and treatment failures, little has been done to study the role of T. vaginalis genotype in transmission, virulence, occurrence of mixed infections, and the spread of drug resistance, primarily due to the
The demand for once-a-day easily tolerated therapies is increasing. While Abbott Laboratories 418 study has demonstrated the efficacy of Kaletra® with both BID and QD dosing with capsules, the pill count of QD dosing may decrease its attractiveness for this population. In some patients, issues such
Routine virological monitoring of HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not currently affordable or available in most African HIV clinics using standard methods such as RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Alternative cheaper technologies to quantify the viral load are still
There has been a major improvement in the survival of HIV-infected individuals with the role out highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) in the public health sector by the South African Government in 2004.
Despite the unparalleled benefits of HAART, there is an increasing recognition that
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports 1 to 2 million malaria deaths annually, with most malaria-related deaths occurring in children. The malaria burden is compounded by the HIV epidemic, which is most prevalent in areas endemic for malaria, notably Sub-Saharan Africa where nine in ten
The postprandial state is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic condition. Increasing evidence support the contention the elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TGRL) are atherogenic. Hypertriglyceridemia is a characteristic of the metabolic complications during human immunodeficiency
Anaemia is a recalcitrant problem in global health, affecting particularly children and childbearing women in sub-Saharan Africa. Anaemia causes impaired growth and cognitive development in children, poor pregnancy outcomes including both maternal and perinatal mortality. Also, it is associated with
Durable suppression of HIV replication is critical to (1) improving the health of infected individuals, (2) to reducing HIV transmission to sexual partners and from mothers to their infants, and (3) to maintaining the effectiveness of the current 1st-line non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase
There has been recent evidence that demonstrates a significant racial disparity in outcomes following pediatric heart transplantation.Differences in fibrosis or its regulation may offer an explanation to these differences.Just as the pathologic alterations of cardiac connective tissue in the
HCV-TARGET is a longitudinal, observational study that will create a carefully maintained research registry of HCV patients treated with antiviral therapies designed to rapidly inform strategies for better management of populations underrepresented in clinical trials, identify and remediate
Although, the use of protease inhibitors (PI) containing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has led to a remarkable improvement in the prognosis and outcome of HIV infection, only 45% to 70% of treatment-naïve patients who commence HAART achieve complete virological suppression. The
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder and the most common genetic disease in the world. SCD is the most common inherited blood disorder in the United States, affecting 70,000 to 80,000 Americans. Secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been shown to have a
Advancements in HAART for HIV-infected children and adolescents are hindered by patient nonadherence. The availability of a powder formulation and the once-daily dosing schedule make ATV an attractive agent for improved adherence in pediatric treatment regimens. This study was designed to provide
