LATENT infectionHERPESVIRUSESTELOMERESVIRUS diseasesHIVLEUCOCYTESBackground: Chronic/latent viral infections may accelerate immunological aging, particularly among people living with HIV (PLWH). We characterized chronic/latent virus infections across their lifespan and investigated their associations with ...
There is some evidence that patients with these conditions are at increased risk of acquiring latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and of this progressing to active disease. Unfortunately, evidence on accurate testing and effective prophylactic treatment in these populations is lacking. This review ...
Screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is mandatory before initiating biologics in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis (CIA). However, few studies have evaluated the discrepancies between the results of tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon-γ release assays (IGRA) in these pat...
Correlation of duration of latent Toxoplasma gondii infection with personality changes in women. Many parasites induce characteristic changes in behavior of their hosts. In humans latent toxoplasmosis is associated with changes in personality profiles... J Flegr,P Kodym,V Tolarová - 《Biological Psy...
Viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause infection in susceptible host cells. Virus infections could be lytic, chronic, latent or immortalizing. Viruses causing latent infection are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The human body is protected from viral infection by...
Using nPCR markers of persistent viral infection/co-infection were revealed in 96.5% (193/200) of the patients with ME/CFS and in 85.3% (128/150) of apparently healthy individuals (p = 0.0003). From them, markers of latent infection/co-infection (virus genomic sequences in DNA from...
[146], and nonhuman primate studies suggest that these cells contribute to SIV persistence [147]. While there is evidence to support the latent infection of TREGcells in peripheral blood [148], HIV latency in mucosal TREGcells has not been established. Elite controllers and long-term non...

Our study focuses on IBD patients candidates for anti-TNF therapy aiming to determine the prevalence of latent TB infection, examine factors influencing QantiFERON outcomes, and describe therapeutic modalities for latent TB in this population. METHODS. This was a descriptive retrospective study of 87...
