  2. 1. On cerebrospinal fluid markers of HIV-1 infection

    Author : Lars-Magnus Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HIV-1; cerebrospinal fluid; AIDS dementia complex; ganglioside GD3; Tau proteins; neopterin; HIV-1 RNA; blood-brain barrier; albumin ratio; cultivation;

    Abstract : HIV-1 infects the central nervous system early in the course of infection and neurological complications are common in HIV-1-infected individuals. Approximately 20% of individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) not treated with antiretroviral therapy develop a subcortical dementia, AIDS dementia complex (ADC). READ MORE

  4. 2. HIV-1 infection of the central nervous system. Markers of pathogenesis and antiretroviral treatment effects

    Author : Sahra Abdulle; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HIV-1; cerebrospinal fluid; antiretroviral therapy; neopterin; beta2-microglobulin; CSF HIV-1 RNA; blood-brain barrier; IgG index; HIV-related neurological diseases; AIDS Dementia Complex; neurofilament protein; HIV-1 genetic subtypes;

    Abstract : Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) invades the central nervous system (CNS) early in the course of infection and either directly or through opportunistic infections causes a spectrum of neurological complications. The most severe manifestation of HIV-1 CNS infection is AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC), which occurs in approximately 20% of untreated patients with AIDS. READ MORE

  5. 3. HIV-1 Exploitation of Dendritic Cell Functionality and Initial Responses in Mucosal Tissues : Elucidation of Influence of HIV-1 Complement Opsonization, and HIV-1-HSV-2 Co-infection

    Author : Cecilia Svanberg; Marie Larsson; Sofia N. Nyström; Jorma Hinkula; Marianne Jansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 is transmitted between individuals via sexual intercourse or via blood products. To date there are 38 million people living with chronic HIV infection and around 1.5 million yearly acquire a new infection. READ MORE

  6. 4. Computational Studies of HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors

    Abstract : Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the causative agent of the pandemic disease Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV acts to disrupt the immune system which makes the body susceptible to opportunistic infections. Untreated, AIDS is generally fatal. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular dynamics in HIV-1 infection of the brain

    Author : Mariantonietta Di Stefano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The focus of the present thesis was to investigate the molecular dynamics in HIV-l infection of the brain. HIV-l infects the brain early during the infection and causes neurological syndromes and neuropathological modifications. READ MORE
