Abstract:
Background: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a syndrome of an opportunistic infectious disease due to decreased immune system by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and viral load were used to assess inflammatory status and the amount of HIV virus in the blood. This study aims to determine the association between NLR and viral load in HIV/AIDS patients with the opportunistic pulmonary infections. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. Data was collected through the medical records of HIV/AIDS

Abstract:
AbstractOpportunistic infections of the central nervous system are classically associated with immunosuppression arising from infection with human immunodeficiency virus and with various hematologic malignancies. However, over the past few years, they are increasingly associated with transplantation and various immunosuppressive treatments used to treat autoimmune diseases. They cause significant morbidity and mortality and remain a diagnostic challenge due to the absence of typical signs and symptoms of infection and mimicry by various noninfectious causes.

Abstract:
As an acquired immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is primarily responsible for opportunistic infections in infected patients. However, opportunistic infections also occur in individuals with human T cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection.

The first patient was a 67-year-old male, who had cytomegalovirus infection associated with esophagogastritis and terminal ileitis.

Abstract:
Molecular identification using 16S rRNA (PCR), sequencing, and the GenBank database, of newly isolated N. circulans, from gunshot wound among clinical wounds in several hospitals in Erbil, Iraq, and studying the antibiogram profile of isolates were the objectives of this study. A total of 157 clinical specimens from various wound infections were collected during (June 2022-September 2022). Molecular identification16S rRNA, morphological characterization and biochemical behavior identified a total of 60 (38.21%) Gram positive bacteria were detected, of which one (1.6%) N. circulans was newly re

Abstract:
The presence of the antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was investigated in 487 serum samples withdrawn from 216 haemophiliacs (186 haemophiliacs A and 30 B) who came to the Pisa Centre between 1977 and 1986. Results show that a considerable proportion of haemophiliacs (15%) were already positive in 1982. In haemophiliacs A, who were treated up to 1983 with concentrates made from US plasma, but from 1984 on began to use concentrates made from Italian plasma, this proportion in 1986 was 16%. In haemophiliacs B who have continued using concentrates from US plasma, the prevalcence rate

Abstract:
Introduction: The human body is a structure composed of billions of specialized cells, each activity goes through the control of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Neuroinfections are pathologies that affect the CNS, for example, we have Murcomycosis, a progressive infection caused by opportunistic fungi of the order Mucorales, with high frequency in Immunodepressed patients, Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the main underlying pathology associated with the development of Rhinocerebral Murcomycosis, which represents 50% of the cases, with a mortality rate of 70% (Sidrim, 2012, p.168).

Abstract:
Introduction: Puerperal mastitis is an inflammatory process of the mammary gland that affects women during lactation, due to stasis in the mammary ducts. The clinical findings vary from focal inflammation to abscesses when not treated early. Additional complications may arise, such as tissue loss by necrosis, leading to the appearance of opportunistic diseases. Myiasis consists of appearance of fly larvae in these tissues, a rare condition in humans. When in cutaneomucosal area, there are complaints of intense pruritus and local pain. The authors seeked to correlate the clinical aspects of pue
