“…These findings are similar to those of a hospital-based study conducted in the region,19 but inconsistent with results of another study, which reported substantially higher malaria prevalence in HIV-positive patients than in HIV-negative patients 25. Similar levels of malaria in HIV-positive and HIV-negative groups in our setting might be the result of the fact that all patients in the study lived in an area with similar malaria transmission intensity and had equal access to malaria control interventions such as mosquito net use (89.2% versus 83.9%; P = 0.29) and malaria case management.…”

The performance of two histidine-rich protein type-2–based malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) was examined in a rural area with a high prevalence of malaria and human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection in 113 and 445 febrile patients ≥ 15 years of age with and without HIV-1 infection, respectively. Patients were tested for HIV-1 infection by using a standard assay and for Plasmodium falciparum by using two mRDTs and microscopy. When microscopy was used as the gold standard, both mRDTs performed similarly in patients with and without HIV-1 infection: Bioline SD Malaria Antigen P.f, sensitivity 94.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 81.3–99.3%) versus 97.1% (95% CI:92.8–99.2%) and specificity 50.6% (95% CI: 39.0–62.2%) versus 47.2% (95% CI: 41.4–53.1%); and ICT diagnostics Malaria Pf, sensitivity 94.4% (95% CI: 81.3–99.3%) versus 97.1% (95% CI: 92.8–99.2%) and specificity 50.6% (95% CI:39.0–62.2%) versus 50.3% (95% CI: 44.4–56.1%). Infection with HIV-1 does not appear to affect the performance of these histidine-rich protein type-2 (HRP-2)-based mRDTs.

Objective: To determine the pattern of presentation of ocular manifestations in HIV/AIDS and the modes of management employed. Method: This collaborative, hospital based retrospective study between the Ophthalmology and Immunology units covered the period between January-December, 2004. Results: 1020 new patients were seen during this period with HIV/AIDS, of whom 125(12.3%) cases presented with some form of ocular complications, made up of 74 females (59.2%) and 51 males (40.8%). Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO), was the commonest form of presentation in 87 (69.6%) patients, followed by ocular tumours in 17 (13.6%) patients and cotton-wool spots in 5 (4%) patients. Conclusion: There is still a great need for the definitive diagnoses of ocular lesions, and retinal lesions in particular as well as appropriate treatment of ocular HIV/AIDS.
