Community-acquired pneumonia represents the most frequent bacterial infection in patients with HIV/AIDS. Purpose We aimed to assess variables associated with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) among HIV-infected adults using ART.

Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe disease. Pathogen isolation is fundamental so as to treat effectively and reduce morbidity and mortality. Blood and valve culture and histopathology (HP) are routinely employed for this purpose. Valve HP is the gold standard for diagnosis. Objectives To determine the sensitivity and specificity of clinical criteria for IE (the modified Duke and...
Purpose To analyze the clinical characteristics of blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNE) and how it compares to those of blood culture-positive endocarditis (BCPE) cases and show how molecular tools helped establish the etiology in BCNE. Methods Adult patients with definite infective endocarditis (IE) and having valve surgery were included. Valves were studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection of man and animals caused by Sporothrix complex. It usually presents as a lymphocutaneous form, but disseminated disease may occur. Given the paucity of data about HIV/AIDS and sporotrichosis co-infection, a systematic review of reported cases of HIV-associated sporotrichosis found via Pubmed (1984–2013) was done. A total of 39 papers were included, and 58 patients’...
