Prevalence and CD4 Cell Count Pattern of TB Co-infection Among HIV Infected Individuals In Nepal

“…Another explanation could be that TB facilitates HIV viral replication to a greater extent in the earlier stages of HIV infection than during advanced illness, when viral replication is already at its peak. 26 We found that the mean CD4 count was in rising pattern without any decline for three and half years among the population with pulmonary TB, but the ones having TB of gland also had rising pattern of mean CD4 count but only for two years. Then the mean CD4 count had falling pattern till three and half years.…”

“…Weight loss may be due to lack of food intake (anorexia, dysphasia or vomiting), mal-absorption of nutrients, or a systemic effect of important diseases such as cancer (within or outside the gastrointestinal tract), infl ammatory bowel disease or chronic infections such as TB (within or outside the gastrointestinal tract). 16 Weight loss in HIV infected patients can be due to HIV wasting syndrome or due to chronic infections like tuberculosis. HIV wasting syndrome has been defi ned by the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), USA, as involuntary weight loss greater than 10% of baseline weight associated with either chronic diarrhea for at least 30 days or chronic weakness or documented fever for at least 30 days in the absence of a concurrent illness or condition other than HIV infection that could explain fi ndings (e.g., tuberculosis, cryptosporidiosis, or other specifi c enteritis).…”

Determination of Predictors Associated With HIV/AIDS Patients on ART Using Accelerated Failure Time Model for Interval Censored Survival Data

“…The introduction of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) has significantly reduced morbidity and mortality in HIVinfected patients in various developed and developing countries (Stringer et al, 2006;Severe et al, 2005;Sharma et al, 2010). There are several studies which describes the estimation of survival of HIV populations and underlying covariates effect on hazard of death among HIV patients on ART by using Cox proportional hazard model for right censored data in India and resource limited setting countries (Ghate et al, 2011;Rai et al, 2013;Kee et al, 2009;Jerene et al, 2006).…”

Current Status of Research on HIV Epidemic, Pathogenesis, Management and Prevention in India

“…The programme has established 300 ART centres all over the country and 404882 PLHIV are . The different studies done in India to evaluate the efficacy of the antiretroviral drugs in the programme have showed good clinical and immunological response to the therapy [66,67].…”
