Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVE: Understanding the effects of antiretroviral treatment (ART) interruption on neurocognition and quality of life (QoL) are important for managing unplanned interruptions and planned interruptions in HIV cure research. DESIGN: Children previously randomized to continuous (continuous ART, n = 41) vs. planned treatment interruption (PTI, n = 47) in the Pediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS (PENTA) 11 study were enrolled. At study end, PTI children resumed ART. At 1 and 2 years following study end, children were assessed by the coding, symbol search and digit span subtests of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (6-16 years old) or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (>/=17 years old) and by Pediatrics QoL questionnaires for physical and psychological QoL. Transformed scaled scores for neurocognition and mean standardized scores for QoL were compared between arms by t-test and Mann-Whitney U test, respectively. Scores indicating clinical concern were compared (

BACKGROUND: Quantifying pediatric immunologic recovery by highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) initiation at different CD4 percentage (CD4%) and age thresholds may inform decisions about timing of treatment initiation. METHODS: HIV-1-infected, HAART-naive children in Europe and the Americas were followed from 2002 through 2009 in PENPACT-1. Data from 162 vertically infected children, with at least World Health Organization “mild” immunosuppression and CD4% RESULTS: Seventy-two percent of baseline immunosuppressed children recovered to normal within 4 years. Compared with “severe” immunosuppression, more children with “mild” immunosuppression (difference 36%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 22% to 49%) or “advanced” immunosuppression (difference 20.8%, 95% CI: 5.8% to 35.9%) recovered a normal CD4%. For each 5-year increase in baseline age, the proportion of children achieving a normal CD4% declined by 19% (95% CI: 11% to 27%). Combining baseline CD4% and age effects resulted in >90% recovery when initiating HAART with “mild” immunosuppression at any age or “advanced” immunosuppression at age CONCLUSIONS: Initiating HAART at higher CD4% and younger ages maximizes potential for immunologic recovery. Guidelines should weigh immunologic benefits against long-term risks.

Contains fulltext : 126098.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the immunological and viral consequences of planned treatment interruptions (PTI) in children with HIV. DESIGN: This was an immunological and virological sub-study of the Paediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS (PENTA) 11 trial, which compared CD4-guided PTI of antiretroviral therapy (ART) with continuous therapy (CT) in children. METHODS: HIV-1 RNA and lymphocyte subsets, including CD4 and CD8 cells, were quantified on fresh samples collected during the study; CD45RA, CD45RO and CD31 subpopulations were evaluated in some centres. For 36 (18 PTI, 18 CT) children, immunophenotyping was performed and cell-associated HIV-1 DNA analysed on stored samples to 48 weeks. RESULTS: In the PTI group, CD4 cell count fell rapidly in the first 12 weeks off ART, with decreases in both naive and memory cells. However, the proportion of CD4 cells expressing CD45RA and CD45RO remained constant in both groups. The increase in CD8 cells in the first 12 weeks off ART in the PTI group was predominantly due to increases in RO-expressing cells. PTI was associated with a rapid and sustained increase in CD4 cells expressing Ki67 and HLA-DR, and increased levels of HIV-1 DNA. CONCLUSIONS: PTI in children is associated with rapid changes in CD4 and CD8 cells, likely due to increased cell turnover and immune activation. However, children off treatment may be able to maintain stable levels of naive CD4 cells, at least in proportion to the memory cell pool, which may in part explain the observed excellent CD4 cell recovery with re-introduction of ART.

virus diseases - Abstract
Without anti-HIV treatment, mother to child HIV-I transmission occurs in 15-30% of HIV positive pregnancies. Transmission occurs mostly in the last trimester or at birth. The maternal virus load in the last trimester and around birth is strongly related to the risk of HIV transmission to the child. This risk can be reduced during pregnancy by anti-HIV treatment and in certain cases by performing a caesarean section. It is recommended to determine the plasma virus load several times during pregnancy. If the virus load is found to be high, measurement of plasma anti-HIV drug concentrations and anti-HIV drug resistance may prompt modification of the anti-HIV drug regimen with the objective of achieving maximal suppression of virus replication in the last trimester

- Abstract
ABSTRACTWhole-genome sequencing (WGS) makes it possible to determine the relatedness of bacterial isolates at a high resolution, thereby helping to characterize outbreaks. However, for Staphylococcus aureus, the accumulation of within-host diversity during carriage might limit the interpretation of sequencing data. In this study, we hypothesized the converse, namely, that within-host diversity can in fact be exploited to reveal the involvement of long-term carriers (LTCs) in outbreaks. We analyzed WGS data from 20 historical outbreaks and applied phylogenetic methods to assess genetic relatedness and to estimate the time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA). The findings were compared with the routine investigation results and epidemiological evidence. Outbreaks with epidemiological evidence for an LTC source had a mean estimated TMRCA (adjusted for outbreak duration) of 243 days (95% highest posterior density interval [HPD], 143 to 343 days) compared with 55 days (95% HPD, 28 to 81 days) for outbreaks lacking epidemiological evidence for an LTC (P= 0.004). A threshold of 156 days predicted LTC involvement with a sensitivity of 0.875 and a specificity of 1. We also found 6/20 outbreaks included isolates with differing antimicrobial susceptibility profiles; however, these had only modestly increased pairwise diversity (mean 17.5 single nucleotide variants [SNVs] [95% confidence interval {CI}, 17.3 to 17.8]) compared with isolates with identical antibiograms (12.7 SNVs [95% CI, 12.5 to 12.8]) (P< 0.0001). Additionally, for 2 outbreaks, WGS identified 1 or more isolates that were genetically distinct despite having the outbreak pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pulsotype. The duration-adjusted TMRCA allowed the involvement of LTCs in outbreaks to be identified and could be used to decide whether screening for long-term carriage (e.g., in health care workers) is warranted. Requiring identical antibiograms to trigger investigation could miss important contributors to outbreaks.

- Abstract
In the UK, infections due to Panton-Valentine leucocidin-positive community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (PVL-MRSA) have been reported sporadically. In September 2006, a fatal PVL-MRSA infection occurred in a Filipino healthcare worker (HCW) after she underwent caesarean section. Throat and nasal swabs were obtained from contacts of cases in community and hospital. MRSA with an antibiogram similar to the PVL-MRSA strain were characterised including toxin gene profiling, polymerase chain reaction- and sequence-based typing. Carriers underwent decolonisation treatment, and HCWs were restricted from patient care until they and their household members were considered negative for PVL-MRSA. The PVL-MRSA belonged to ST30, was protein A gene (spa) type t019, SCCmec IVc, agr 3, and resistant only to beta-lactam antibiotics. Representatives of the same lineage were identified among a further 16 individuals in community and hospital. Infections likely to be caused by PVL-MRSA had occurred in 12 cases, and were likely to be hospital-acquired in two patients (one fatal) and occupationally acquired in one HCW. Nine cases worked as nursing staff in the hospital. Eight of these had emigrated from the Philippines in the previous five years and were linked socially. Thus, PVL-MRSA-ST30 was detected in a HCW community in the UK. This is the first report of nosocomial transmission of this pandemic clone in the UK associated with a fatality. Increased vigilance in healthcare and community is needed in response to this emerging threat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Summary: Antibiotic-associated Clostridium difficile diarrhoea may complicate recovery from surgery for proximal femoral fracture. We undertook a four-year case–control study to evaluate a change in antibiotic prophylaxis in our department. During the period January 2003 to January 2005, patients received three doses of prophylactic cefuroxime (1.5g). We then introduced a new regimen, comprising of one single dose of cefuroxime (1.5g) with gentamicin (240mg) at induction. Prior to the change in prophylaxis, 912 patients underwent surgery for neck of femur fracture, and from March 2005 to March 2007, 899 patients had surgery under the new regimen. Thirty-eight patients developed C. difficile infection (4.2%) in the initial group, compared with 14 patients (1.6%) in the group with the new regimen (P =0.009). The incidence of C. difficile infection increased throughout the rest of the hospital over the same time period. Patients with C. difficile infection had a statistically significant increase in antibiotic exposure, inpatient stay, morbidity and inpatient mortality. The main challenges regarding prophylactic antibiotic selection are infection due to meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and C. difficile-associated diarrhoea. We advocate the use of the new regimen as an alternative to multiple-dose cephalosporin antibiotics for the prevention of C. difficile infection in this group of high-risk patients.

- Abstract
A two step, three-test algorithm for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) was reviewed. Stool samples were tested by enzyme immunoassays for C. difficile common antigen glutamate dehydrogenase (G) and toxin A/B (T). Samples with discordant results were tested by polymerase chain reaction detecting the toxin B gene (P). The algorithm quickly identified patients with detectable toxin A/B, whereas a large group of patients excreting toxigenic C. difficile but with toxin A/B production below detection level (G(+)T(-)P(+)) was identified separately. The average white blood cell count in patients with a G(+)T(+) result was higher than in those with a G(+)T(-)P(+) result., (Copyright © 2011 The Healthcare Infection Society.

- Abstract
We report the prevalence and incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonisation during the patient journey for patients admitted to orthopaedic and trauma wards. Patients were swabbed for MRSA colonisation on admission, transfer, and discharge from hospital. Elective patients undergoing major joint surgery were also swabbed at a pre-operative assessment clinic. Of the 559 patients admitted, 323 (101 elective, 192 trauma and 30 non-orthopaedic) were included in the study. Of these, 27 elective (27%), 41 trauma (21%), and seven non-orthopaedic (23%) patients were colonised with MRSA at any time during the audit period. There is a high prevalence of MRSA colonisation in patients admitted to the orthopaedic and trauma wards in our setting. A policy of pre-admission screening, though able to identify MRSA carriage, does not guarantee that patients are not colonised in the period between screening and admission. We suggest to screen for MRSA all patients admitted to an orthopaedic ward.

- Abstract
Without anti-HIV treatment, mother to child HIV-I transmission occurs in 15-30% of HIV positive pregnancies. Transmission occurs mostly in the last trimester or at birth. The maternal virus load in the last trimester and around birth is strongly related to the risk of HIV transmission to the child. This risk can be reduced during pregnancy by anti-HIV treatment and in certain cases by performing a caesarean section. It is recommended to determine the plasma virus load several times during pregnancy. If the virus load is found to be high, measurement of plasma anti-HIV drug concentrations and anti-HIV drug resistance may prompt modification of the anti-HIV drug regimen with the objective of achieving maximal suppression of virus replication in the last trimester.

- Abstract
In newborn children from HIV-infected women early establishment of HIV infection is of importance for optimal therapy of HIV-infected children and avoidance of unnecessary medication in uninfected children. A more than 95% reliable diagnosis of HIV infection can now be obtained at the age of four weeks by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. Before this age a positive PCR result is relevant since it necessitates additional investigation such as measuring anti-HIV drug resistance and may lead to modification of anti-HIV treatment. Prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii is not needed if HIV infection can not be demonstrated by PCR after the age of four weeks.

- Abstract
The relationship between T cell activation and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication was studied in HIV-infected subjects, 20 with and 10 without anti-HIV treatment. Expression of Ki-67 proliferation-associated antigen was increased in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and correlated with HLA-DR. In subjects without anti-HIV treatment, the plasma HIV-1 RNA level correlated with HLA-DR in CD4+ T cells, with Ki-67 in CD8+ T cells, and with expression of CD38 in both T cell subsets. A proportion of treated subjects had increased T cell activation despite 4 months of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART). In subjects receiving HAART, a high percentage of HLA-DR+ CD4+ T cells was associated with signs of opportunistic infections. This work supports the concept that, in the natural course of HIV-1 infection, HIV replication itself leads to general T cell activation and that opportunistic infections generate additional CD4+ T cell activation and HIV replication.

- Abstract
This study examines important developmental differences in patterns of activation in the prefrontal cortex during performance of a Go-No-Go paradigm using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Eighteen subjects (9 children and 9 adults) were scanned using gradient echo, echo planar imaging during performance of a response inhibition task. The results suggest four general findings. First, the location of activation in the prefrontal cortex was not different between children and adults, which is similar to our earlier pediatric fMRI results of prefrontal activation during a working memory task (Casey et al., 1995). Second, the volume of activation was significantly greater for children relative to adults. These differences in volume of activation were observed predominantly in the dorsal and lateral prefrontal cortices. Third, although inhibitory processes have typically been associated with more ventral or orbital frontal regions, the current study revealed activation that was distributed across both dorsolateral and orbitofrontal cortices. Finally, consistent with animal and human lesion studies, activity in orbital frontal and anterior cingulate cortices correlated with behavioral performance (i.e., number of false alarms). These results further demonstrate the utility of this methodology in studying pediatric populations.

- Abstract
Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques were used to identify the neural circuitry underlying emotional processing in control and depressed subjects. Depressed subjects were studied before and after treatment with venlafaxine. This new technique provides a method to noninvasively image regional brain function with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution., Method: Echo-planar imaging was used to acquire whole brain images while subjects viewed positively and negatively valenced visual stimuli. Two control subjects and two depressed subjects who met DSM-IV criteria for major depression were scanned at baseline and 2 weeks later. Depressed subjects were treated with venlafaxine after the baseline scan., Results: Preliminary results from this ongoing study revealed three interesting trends in the data. Both depressed patients demonstrated considerable symptomatic improvement at the time of the second scan. Across control and depressed subjects, the negative compared with the positive pictures elicited greater global activation. In both groups, activation induced by the negative pictures decreased from the baseline scan to the 2-week scan. This decrease in activation was also present in the control subjects when they were exposed to the positive pictures. In contrast, when the depressed subjects were presented with the positive pictures they showed no activation at baseline, whereas after 2 weeks of treatment an area of activation emerged in right secondary visual cortex., Conclusion: While preliminary, these results demonstrate the power of using fMRI to study emotional processes in normal and depressed subjects and to examine mechanisms of action of antidepressant drugs.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the possible role of Cryptococcus neoformans in HIV-1 pathogenesis., Design: An in vitro system was developed to study HIV-1 replication in freshly HIV-1-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) incubated with whole azide-killed C. neoformans., Methods: Human PBMC or peripheral blood lymphocytes were infected with lymphocytotropic HIV-1 and incubated with azide-killed encapsulated or non-encapsulated C. neoformans for 10 days. Viral replication was followed by HIV-1 p24 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and median tissue culture infective dose determination. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) release by PBMC, induced by C. neoformans, was measured. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies or pentoxifylline were used to inhibit TNF bioactivity., Results: Both encapsulated and non-encapsulated C. neoformans enhanced HIV-1 replication in PBMC but not in peripheral blood lymphocytes. C. neoformans induced TNF release by PBMC. Inhibition of TNF bioactivity did not block C. neoformans-enhanced HIV-1 replication in PBMC., Conclusions: C. neoformans can enhance HIV-1 replication in T cells only in the presence of monocytic cells. This enhancement is not dependent on encapsulation nor can it be attributed to TNF release.
