“…Among these symptoms, functional decline (Erlandson et al, 2013; Stehle et al, 2012), cognitive decline (Ancuta et al, 2008; Kamat, Lyons, et al, 2012), obesity (Koethe et al, 2013), anxiety, and sadness (Liebregts et al, 2007) have been associated with microbial translocation, indicated by elevated levels of sCD14 and/or Gram-negative bacterial LPS along with other inflammatory cytokines. Fatigue (Klimas, Broderick, & Fletcher, 2012), muscle aches, joint pain (Eriksson, Andersson, Ekerfelt, Ernerudh, & Skogh, 2004), poor sleep (Grandner, Sands-Lincoln, Pak, & Garland, 2013), fever/chills/sweats (Holtzclaw, 2013), night sweats (Mold, Holtzclaw, & McCarthy, 2012), peripheral neuropathy (Harezlak et al, 2011; Zheng et al, 2011), diarrhea (Liebregts et al, 2007), anxiety, depression (Camacho, 2013), and weight loss/wasting (Stein et al, 1997) have been associated with chronic inflammation as indicated by the elevation of proinflammatory cytokines. Table 2 provides a list of HIV-associated symptoms consistently reported by PLWH and displays the gaps in knowledge in regard to whether each has been associated with inflammation.…”
