While many factors contribute to mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV-1, maternal plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (RNA-VL) has been consistently found as the main risk factor, including when antiretroviral prophylaxis was used to prevent MTCT. However the predictive value of RNA-VL is poor. A recent study of HIV-1-positive pregnant women who did not receive antiretroviral prophylaxis reported an association between HIV-1 DNA viral load (DNA-VL) and MTCT that was stronger than the association between RNA-VL and MTCT. We sought to determine if HIV-1 DNA-VL was independently associated with MTCT of HIV in a population of women who received zidovudine prophylaxis during pregnancy and whose infants received zidovudine after birth. Patients were 33 non-breastfeeding transmitting (TR) and 33 nontransmitting mothers (NTR) from Perinatal HIV Prevention Trial (PHPT-1), a multicenter clinical trial conducted in Thailand comparing zidovudine prophylaxis durations to prevent MTCT. TR and NTR mothers were matched according to baseline RNA-VL. Maternal peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-associated HIV-1 DNA was extracted from whole blood, and DNA-VL was established by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. We found that TR had a significantly higher cell-associated HIV-1 DNA viral load than did NTR. Median TR DNA-VL was 2.54 [log.sub.10] copies per microgram PBMC DNA, while it was 2.28 [log.sub.10] copies per microgram PBMC DNA in NTR (Wilcoxon p = 0.02). In summary, HIV-1 DNA viral load was associated with MTCT in a population of women who received antiretroviral prophylaxis during pregnancy, independently from RNA viral load.

The European Pregnancy and Paediatric HIV Cohort Collaboration (EPPICC) study group., [Objective]: The aim of this study was to describe growth during puberty in young people with vertically acquired HIV. [Design]: Pooled data from 12 paediatric HIV cohorts in Europe and Thailand. [Methods]: One thousand and ninety-four children initiating a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or boosted protease inhibitor based regimen aged 1–10 years were included. Super Imposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) models described growth from age 8 years using three parameters (average height, timing and shape of the growth spurt), dependent on age and height-for-age z-score (HAZ) (WHO references) at antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. Multivariate regression explored characteristics associated with these three parameters. [Results]: At ART initiation, median age and HAZ was 6.4 [interquartile range (IQR): 2.8, 9.0] years and −1.2 (IQR: −2.3 to −0.2), respectively. Median follow-up was 9.1 (IQR: 6.9, 11.4) years. In girls, older age and lower HAZ at ART initiation were independently associated with a growth spurt which occurred 0.41 (95% confidence interval 0.20–0.62) years later in children starting ART age 6 to 10 years compared with 1 to 2 years and 1.50 (1.21–1.78) years later in those starting with HAZ less than −3 compared with HAZ at least −1. Later growth spurts in girls resulted in continued height growth into later adolescence. In boys starting ART with HAZ less than −1, growth spurts were later in children starting ART in the oldest age group, but for HAZ at least −1, there was no association with age. Girls and boys who initiated ART with HAZ at least −1 maintained a similar height to the WHO reference mean. [Conclusion]: Stunting at ART initiation was associated with later growth spurts in girls. Children with HAZ at least −1 at ART initiation grew in height at the level expected in HIV negative children of a comparable age., This work has been partially funded by the Fundación para la Investigación y Prevención de SIDA en España (FIPSE) (FIPSE 3608229/09, FIPSE 240800/09, FIPSE 361910/10), Red Temática de Investigación en SIDA (RED RIS) supported by Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) (RD12/0017/0035 and RD12/0017/0037), project as part of the Plan R+D+I and cofinanced by ISCIII- Subdirección General de Evaluación and Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER),Mutua Madrileña 2012/0077, Gilead Fellowship 2013/0071, FIS PI15/00694,CoRISpe (RED RIS RD06/0006/0035 y RD06/0006/0021).

- Abstract
This study aimed to identify the bacterial etiology of empyema thoracis or parapneumonic pleural effusions in Thai children, with a focus on pneumococcus. This hospital-based, descriptive study included children aged < or = 16 years, diagnosed with empyema thoracis or parapneumonic pleural effusion, from whom a pleural fluid (PF) sample was taken between January 2008 and November 2009. PF and blood samples were cultured and PF samples were also tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to assess whether evidence of an infection might be identified among culture-negative samples. Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae-positive samples was performed by molecular techniques and Quellung reaction. In this study, 29 children with empyema thoracis and 42 children with parapneumonic pleural effusion were enrolled. Potentially pathogenic bacteria were cultured in 13/71 samples at local or central laboratories; the most common bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (8 children) and S. pneumoniae (2 children). Molecular techniques detected one or more targeted respiratory pathogens in 18/71 PF samples. S. pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae were identified by PCR in 13 and 6 children, respectively; PCR for S. aureus was not performed. The pneumococcal serotypes identified were 1, 3, 5, 6A/B, 9A/V, 14, 15A, 19F and 23A. This study shows that among Thai children with empyema thoracis and parapneumonic pleural effusions, S. aureus and S. pneumoniae were the most common pathogens identified by culture and PCR, respectively. These findings confirmed that molecular techniques are more sensitive for identification of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae and enhance detection of important bacterial causes of empyema.

- Abstract
Three patients were admitted to Hat Yai Hospital, Songkhla Thailand with hemoptysis. They were previously healthy children aged 6, 13, and 14 years old who had attended schools in which outbreaks of influenza had occurred. They all had a history of fever, rhinorrhea, and severe cough accompanied by hemoptysis. Two developed hemoptysis on Day 3 and the third on Day 6 of illness, with one of them displaying massive hemoptysis. Chest radiographs were compatible with viral pneumonia in two cases and the third case was unremarkable. Coagulation profiles in the severe case were carried out and were normal. All the patients responded very well to treatment with oseltamivir and did not require intubation. Their subsequent nasopharyngeal swabs were positive for human pandemic influenza A H1N1 by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and their sputum for acid-fast bacilli and tuberculin skin tests were negative.
