Abstract:

The review provides up-to-date statistical data on the prevalence, transmission routes, and risks of perinatal transmission of hepatitis C virus, immunodeficiency virus, and variants of their co-infections from mother to child. The increase in the number of HIV/HCV co-infected women of reproductive age makes it urgent to develop a strategy for the prevention of vertical transmission of HIV/HCV co-infection based on the treatment of viral hepatitis C during pregnancy planning and three-stage prevention of perinatal transmission of HIV infection at the onset of pregnancy.

Abstract:

Human immuno deficiency virus is RNA retro virus. HIV infection can be transmitted by four ways, It can be transmitted from infected mother to her fetus during pregnancy, during delivery and through breastfeeding. Transmission of Treponema pallidum infection from syphilitic mother to her fetus through Placenta occurs at any stage of pregnancy. Transmission of Hepatitis B virus by vertical transmission to fetus occurs mostly in first trimester. Transmission of Hepatitis C infection occurs mainly by post transfusion in prenatal period.

Abstract:

Background: Although SARS-CoV-2 infection has spread fast throughout the world, information on the natural history of illness in pregnant women and the risk of mother-to-fetal transmission is limited. HIV and HCV also showed evidence of mother-to-fetal transmission. Aim: Reviewing literature reports and published data regarding possibility of viral transmission to fetus, and to what extend it could occur for SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and HCV. Discussion: According to certain research, there is no viremia detected in maternal or cord blood, and there is no indication of vertical SARS-CoV-2transmission.

Abstract:

In the past decade, an increase in pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has had a substantial impact on childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. The vertical transmission of HIV from mother to infant accounts for the vast majority of these cases. Identification of HIV-infected pregnant women needs to be impoved so that appropriate therapy can be initiated for both mothers and infants. While recent data demonstrate a dramatic decrease in HIV transmission from a subset of women treated with zidovudine during pregnancy, further efforts at reducing transmission are desperatel

Abstract:

In this paper a mathematical model is developed to study the transmission dynamics of HIV infection and the effect of horizontal and vertical transmission in Turkey is analyzed. Model is fitted with the use of confirmed HIV cases of both vertical and horizontal transmission from 2011 to 2018. Using the next generation operator the basic reproduction number of the model is obtained, which shows whether the disease persists or dies out in time. Further analysis shows that the model is locally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number R0 < 1 and is unstable when R0 > 1. The m

Abstract:

Summary: Newer therapies for the treatment of HIV infection and the effectiveness of zidovudine in reducing vertical transmission mean that it is becoming increasingly important to diagnose HIV infection earlier. General practitioners (GPs) attending a local study day on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) were asked about their likelihood of raising the subject of HIV antibody testing, and their anxiety when doing so, for different patient groups. A high level of anxiety was found when raising this topic in certain patient groups, and a proportion of GPs would never discuss HIV testing, even

Abstract:

Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis is a genodermatosis characterized by susceptibility to infection by specific HPV types (HPV 3/10 and beta-HPVs). It is considered to be the first model in human carcinogenesis induced by HPV. In this report we present a rare case of Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis associated with vertical transmission of HIV. Although most patients with HIV present infections by HPV virus, the frequency of Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis is no greater in patients with HIV because in EV there is a deficiency of specific cellular immunity to infection by some types of HPV, called

Background: In resource-rich settings, the rate of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has dramatically decreased by virtue of a combination of preventive strategies during the last two decades. Case Presentation: We present a case of progressive developmental milestone loss in a toddler with previously unknown congenitally acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, complicated by an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) coinfection. Conclusion: Our report underscores the differential diagnosis between HIV encephalopathy and EBV encephalitis and the vertical trans

Abstract:

Increased availability of antiretroviral therapy to pregnant and breastfeeding women in resource-limited areas has proven remarkably successful at reducing HIV vertical transmission rates over the past several decades. Yet, still, more than 170,000 children are infected annually due to failures in therapy implementation, monitoring, and adherence. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV-1 can occur at one of several distinct stages of infant development – intrauterine, intrapartum, and postpartum. The heterogeneity of the maternal-fetal interface at each of these modes of transmission poses

Abstract:

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lenti-virus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a critical condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections. Over the past few years HIV has been spreading rapidly in the population. Almost, everyday there are thousands of new human cases of HIV infection being recorded in the world and these occur in almost every country of the world. However, the spread of HIV is relatively faster in the developing countries as compared to develo

Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) co-infection has been described as the most severe form of viral hepatitis, and can be co-transmitted from mother-to-child. A seroprevalence of 4.0% of HDV infection was reported in pregnant women in Yaoundé, and 11.9% in the general population in Cameroon. Our objective was to describe the rate of HDV infection in HBsAg-positive pregnant women and to determine risk factors associated with mother-to-child transmission of HDV.

We assessed the pharmacokinetics of sd-NVP in 62 HIV-1-positive pregnant Ugandan woman and their newborns who were receiving sd-NVP prophylaxis to prevent mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission. Based on these data, we developed a mathematical model system to quantify the impact of different sd-NVP regimens at delivery and of extended infant NVP prophylaxis (6, 14, 21, 26, 52, 78, and 102 weeks) on the 2-year risk of HIV-1 transmission and de

One of the serious negative consequences of the HIV infection epidemic is the involvement of women of reproductive age and children into the epidemic process. The problem of vertical HIV infection transmission does not lose its relevance and causes the need for continuous monitoring of measures to prevent the transmission of HIV from mother to child. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a set of measures to prevent the transmission of HIV infection from mother to child in the South of Russia.Materials and methods.
