Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional status of children with oral complications in relation to HIV/AIDS as well as the effects of the oral lesions on nutritional status.

Abstract:

South Africa has one of the world’s highest burdens of TB, HIV/TB co-infection, and drug-resistant TB. Second-line TB treatment is less effective, more expensive, and more toxic than treatment for drug-sensitive TB. Nearly 1 in every 5 persons who starts treatment for drug-resistant TB in South Africa will die; 1 in every 3 persons who survives treatments experiences permanent, profound hearing loss. For decades there was little progress in TB research, however, and so treatment with old regimens continued despite safety concerns. In 2012 the US and European regulatory authorities approved a n

Abstract:

Background: While several studies have studied the associations between biological factors such as HIV-status with TB transmission or clustering, our understanding of the associations between TB transmission and socio-economic risk factors for TB remains incomplete. More studies are required to enhance our understanding, and hence inform targeted interventions to curb TB transmission, particularly in high burden communities. This study aimed to explore the associations between TB transmission and socio-economic risk factors in one such high TB and HIV burdened community. Methods: A cross-secti

Introduction. Concurrent use of public sector and other healthcare facilities by adult persons seeking treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/ or tuberculosis (TB) has been shown to lead to poorer health outcomes for such patients. Apart from structural factors (e.g. service standards), demographic and personal factors may also influence patients to use private health services concurrently with public sector services for these two diseases.

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a construct that has received attention in research for nearly four decades. However, renewed interest in this field came about with advances in medical technology and health policies. Better treatment options and policies, which enables greater access to health care, have improved health outcomes, such as leading to an extension in life expectancy. This rings particularly true for Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and associated illnesses such Tuberculosis (TB). However, improvements in health outcomes are not necessarily accompanied by satisfactory

Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common opportunistic infection in HIV-infected patients and the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a growing problem in resource-limited settings (RLS). TB diagnosis in most RLS still depends on smear microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) while adequate infrastructure for testing drug sensitivity is unavailable. However, molecular diagnostics that detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) DNA and its genetic markers of drug resistance were recently developed.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the infectious disease causing the greatest global mortality, with an estimated 10 million incident cases of TB and 1.45 million deaths in 2018. Although there is a cure for TB, the success of the treatment is hampered by multidrug resistant TB and HIV infection. There is an urgent need for an effective TB vaccine to prevent ongoing transmission. The development of a new and efficacious TB vaccine will likely be dependent on our understanding of protective immunity to TB.

Its management implies a complex treatment, high costs, more toxic anti-tuberculosis drug use, longer treatment time and increased treatment failure and mortality. The aims of this study were to compare mortality between MDR and drug-susceptible cases of tuberculosis, and to determine risk factors associated with mortality

Abstract:

Health systems in central Asia (the former Soviet Union) face challenges to control TB and HIV/AIDS epidemics. Integration of communicable disease control programmes with the broader health system has been recommended to ensure programmes' sustainability. An important constraint for studying sustainability and integration has been a lack of conceptual clarity. Drawing on a critical assessmenot f publishedl iterature, a novel conceptualf ramework for the analysis of sustainability and integration in health systems has been developed.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the perfonnance of different models of publicprivate partnerships in the provision of tuberculosis treatment, and explore incentive mechanisms for private sector participation. It makes recommendations to policymakers in South Africa and elsewhere on the best way to approach a policy on the enhanced role of private sector providers in tuberculosis treatment in light of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. A common framework is used to analyse the nature of the models, their perfonnance in tenns of cost, effectiveness and quality of care, and incentives for private parti

Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) has become a serious South African health problem because it is the most common opportunistic disease that leads to death in people with HIV/AIDS. Due to the airborne nature of the disease it can easily be spread to anyone including healthy people. A lack of compliance to treatment by TB patients explains why prevalence rates of the disease are high and why there is an emergence of drug resistant strains such as XDR-TB and MDR-TB. Information on existing knowledge, attitudes and perceptions regarding TB can provide a crucial foundation for the development of educational progr

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)<br>Over the past two decades, despite a growing tuberculosis (TB) epidemic, the South African health system and National TB Programme (NTP) have taken significant steps to ensure improved clinical awareness, early diagnosis, prompt treatment initiation and follow-up of treatment outcomes in cases of TB. The effects of these programmatic measures over time on changes in the severity of disease and presenting clinical profile of patients with pulmonary TB have not been studied. Doing so may provide another window on the impact of TB control initiative

Abstract:

Syndrome inflammatoire lié à la reconstitution immunitaire chez le patient coinfecté par le VIH et la tuberculose est une complication du traitement par des antirétroviraux, appelé TB-IRIS. Ce syndrome est souvent rencontré dans les pays en voie de développement. Son diagnostic se pose essentiellement sur la présentation clinique et nécessiter de se différentier des autres pathologies. Son évolution est souvent favorable ou sous corticoïde mais certaine forme est sévère et/ou mortelle. L'étude de leur mécanisme permettra d'identifier de marqueur prédictif, applicable à leur diagnostic précoce

Abstract:

Polymorphism in the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) region of chromosome is the major source of host genetic variability in outcome of HIV-1 infection. However, there is limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effect of protective class I alleles such as HLA-B57, B27 and B51. Taking advantage of a unique cohort (SM cohort) infected with clade B’ HIV-1 through contaminated blood, in which many variables, such as the length of infection, the infecting viral strain and host genetic background are controlled, we performed a comprehensive study in order to understand HLA-B51

Introduction: The introduction of antiretroviral therapy has successfully transformed the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) into a long-term condition. However, nearly half of those living with HIV experience cognitive difficulties (HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorders; HAND). The adverse effects of HIV on cognitive function have been well-documented. However, it has not been established whether individuals with HAND present with deficits in social cognition, specifically related to the ability to understand other people’s intentions and feelings (Theory of Mind; ToM).

Abstract:

Le traitement actuel de la tuberculose chimio-sensible est de 6 mois, ce qui est beaucoup trop long et entraine des défauts d’adhésion au traitement, des échecs thérapeutiques par sélection de bactéries résistantes. Puisque dans le futur proche, aucun nouveau traitement ne permettra de raccourcir la durée de traitement, d’autres voies doivent être recherchées, entre autres l’augmentation de la posologie de rifampicine (R) au-delà des 10 mg/kg actuellement recommandés qui pourrait permettre un traitement de 3-4 mois.Notre travail, réalisé dans le cadre d’essais cliniques, a consisté d’une part
