Genital Dysplasia in Women Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Abstract

0003). A lower CD4؉ count nadir was strongly associated with genital dysplasia (P ‫؍‬ .0003).Conclusion: A history of greater immunosuppression, as measured by the nadir of a patient's CD4

Functional Attributes of Mucosal Immunity in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Effects of HIV Infection

“…In addition, infiltrating lymphocytes are correlated with regression of genital warts in both humans and animal models (28 -31). In the setting of HIV infection, peripheral CD4 counts are inversely correlated with the presence of CIN, indicating a protective role of CD4ϩ T cells in this population (32). Because our study is a cross-sectional study, the functional role of the lymphocytic infiltrates in CIN lesions cannot be ascertained.…”

Prevalence and risk factors for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among HIV-infected women

“…26 Although HIV viral load in our study was not predictive of CIN, the association of CIN with higher HIV viral load warrants further investigation.…”

Unusual metastasis of uterine leiomyosarcoma to the adrenal gland with intravenous extension to the heart

“…Th e prevalence of cervical dysplasia was 3.9-fold higher among HIV-infected women than among women not infected with HIV (Duerr et al 2001). Before highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) became the standard of care for patients infected with HIV, the risk of cervical dysplasia increased progressively as immune function declined; as measured by the fall in CD4 ϩ cells (Taylor et al 2004).…”
