Opportunistic illnesses in Brazilian children with AIDS: results from two national cohort studies, 1983-2007

Abstract: BackgroundHAART has significantly reduced AIDS-related morbidity in children. However, limited evidence is available from developing countries regarding patterns of opportunistic illnesses. We describe these events and their associated factors in children with AIDS in Brazil.MethodsThis study is based on two representative retrospective multi-center cohorts including a total 1,859 children with AIDS, infected via mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), between 1983-2002.

“…2 This study has important implications, considering the possibility of reducing morbidity and mortality and increased survival in patients infected with HIV/AIDS with the adoption and development of HAART, both in adults and in children. 2,17 Different studies indicate changing clinical and epidemiological patterns related to neurotoxoplamosis 2,7,17 and its association with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). 2,15 Together, these findings extend the importance of adopting screening routines for T. gondii infection in all newly diagnosed cases of HIV infection, with follow-up serologic depending on the context of risk associated with each individual.…”

“…De uma forma geral, as principais manifestações bucais presentes em pacientes pediátricos infectados pelo HIV encontradas nos artigos selecionados foram: cárie, candidose, queilite angular, eritema linear gengival, lesões na mucosa, patologias nas glândulas salivares, Sarcoma de Kaposi, Linfoma não Hodgkin, doenças fúngicas, doenças virais, doença periodontal, hipoplasia de esmalte e condiloma acuminado 1,[3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11] . Com relação às inferências deixadas pelos artigos, pode-se dizer que os pacientes pediátricos infectados pelo HIV, comumente, apresentam algum tipo de manifestação bucal em fases não específicas de sua infância, apesar de terem sido encontrados poucos estudos que correlacionam a temática com a Odontologia [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12] .…”
