- A method of oligochip for single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping in the promoter region of the interleukin-1 beta gene and its clinical application. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can contribute to genetic predispositions or serve as genetic markers that are associated with complex diseases. So...

BACKGROUND: Suboptimal treatment adherence remains a barrier to the control of many infectious diseases, including tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, which...

- Acquired rifamycin resistance in persons with advanced HIV disease being treated for active tuberculosis with intermittent rifamycin-based regimens. Rifamycin drugs (i.e., rifampin, rifabutin, and rifapentine) are essential for short-course chemotherapy in persons with active tuberculosis (TB). However,...

- Adenosine deaminase activity in various pathological effusions. Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) Activity in pathologic effusions was measured. The effusions were pleural (49 cases) peritoneal (38 cases) and pericardial (3...

- Age dependent increase in early resistance of mice to Mycobacterium tuberculosis is associated with an increase in CD8 T cells that are capable of antigen independent IFN-gamma production. The lungs of naïve 18-month-old mice contain an abundant resident population of CD8 T cells that express typical markers of memory, express elevated levels...

- AIDS in Africa. HIV has infected more than 10 million people in sub-Saharan Africa with prevalence rates of up to 30% reported from some countries. Adult transmission of HIV...
