Revisiting oral thrush in South‐East Asian patients: A review of published studies (2000–2020)

“…Mucocutaneous findings were described as early predictors of HIV infection in Malaysia, 28,37 with oral candidiasis reported in 35.9% of 104 HIV‐positive patients of Chinese descent with mucocutaneous disorders. Nissapattorn et al reported an almost similar prevalence (43.4%) amongst HIV‐infected patients of a multi‐ethnic group 29 and HIV‐infected patients with central nervous system manifestations (32.7%) 38 . A Singaporean study reported that 34.6% of 81 randomly selected HIV‐infected patients had oral candidiasis 33 .…”

“…Eventually, 22 studies involving 3697 subjects were reviewed and the study details are summarized in Table 1. Amongst these studies, 10 were conducted in Thailand 7,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] ; three in Cambodia, [22][23][24] Indonesia [25][26][27] and Malaysia [28][29][30] ; two in Vietnam 31,32 ; and one in Singapore. 33 The incidence and clinical presentations of oral candidiasis are summarized in the section below.…”

Infeksi Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Data Demografi dan Perbandingan Ujian Kerentanan Anti-Tuberkulosis

“…Satu kajian lepas mendapati 83% pesakit tibi menghidapi jangkitan tuberkulosis pulmonari (Nantha 2014). Kajian retrospektif yang telah dijalankan di Hospital Kuala Lumpur pada tahun 2001 mendapati kebanyakan pesakit HIV di institusi kesihatan tersebut mengalami jangkitan tuberkulosis pulmonari (Nissapatorn et al 2001). Pesakit jangkitan tuberkulosis pulmonari biasanya menunjukkan simptom batuk dan x-ray dada yang abnormal.…”

Predictors of Opportunistic Infections among HIV-infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV/AIDS are due to underlying immunosuppression, which leads to a life-threatening OI during the natural course of the disease. Immune-compromised HIV/AIDS patients develop a number of OIs that have a significant burden on their quality of life, healthcare cost, well-being, and their survival (Hogg et al, 1999; Nissapatorn et al, 2003). The development of OIs among people living with HIV depends on the degree of host immunity, virulence of the virus, and the use of antimicrobial prophylaxis (Inungu et al, 2001).…”
