Drugs for treating infections caused by non-tubercular mycobacteria: a narrative review from the study group on mycobacteria of the Italian Society of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine Open
Background Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are generally free-living organism, widely distributed in the environment, with sporadic potential to infect. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the global incidence of N…

Changes in Cerebrospinal Fluid, Liver and Intima-media-thickness Biomarkers in Patients with HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorders Randomized to a Less Neurotoxic Treatment Regimen Open
The prevalence of neurocognitive impairment in people living with HIV is estimated between 30 and 50%. The pathogenesis of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders is complex and multifactorial. Aim of the study was to measure the change in…

The Manifesto of Pharmacoenosis: Merging HIV Pharmacology into Pathocoenosis and Syndemics in Developing Countries Open
Pathocoenosis and syndemics theories have emerged in the last decades meeting the frequent need of better understanding interconnections and reciprocal influences that coexistent communicable and non-communicable diseases play in a specifi…

Presence of Epstein–Barr virus DNA in cerebrospinal fluid is associated with greater HIV RNA and inflammation Open
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA was associated with viral, inflammatory and neuronal damage biomarkers in people living with HIV (PLW…

HIV-1 detection in the olfactory mucosa of HIV-1-infected participants Open
The results of this study suggest that nasal brushing is a well tolerated and useful technique for sampling the olfactory mucosa. HIV-RNA was detected in most naïve and in some treated patients, warranting larger longitudinal studies.

Epstein-Barr Virus May Contribute to Central Nervous System Involvement in HIV-positive Individuals Open
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) often accesses the central nervous system (CNS) where it may lead to blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity disruption, facilitating the migration of immune cells into brain parenchyma. Our aim was to study the associ…
