Predictors of mortality in HIV-1 infected children on antiretroviral therapy in Kenya:
(2010)
Background: Among children, early mortality following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) remains high. It is
important to define correlates of mortality in order to improve outcome.
Methods: HIV-1-infected ...
Utility of Total lymphocyte Count as a Surrogate Marker for CD4 counts in HIV-1 infected Children in Kenya
(2011-09-30)
Abstract
Background
In resource-limited settings, such as Kenya, access to CD4 testing is limited. Therefore, evaluation of less expensive laboratory diagnostics is urgently needed to diagnose immuno-suppression in ...
Medication diaries do not improve outcomes with highly active antiretroviral therapy in Kenyan children: a randomized clinical trial
(2009-06-24)
Abstract
Background
As highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) becomes increasingly available to African children, it ...

Objectives
To estimate HIV-1 incidence and cofactors for HIV-1 incidence during pregnancy and postpartum.
Design
Retrospective study among women who were HIV seronegative during pregnancy.
Methods
Mothers ...
Acute cytomegalovirus infection in Kenyan HIV-infected infants
(2009)
Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) coinfection may influence HIV-1 disease progression
during infancy. Our aim was to describe the incidence of CMV infection
and the kinetics of viral replication in Kenyan HIV-infected and ...
Longitudinal Assessment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1)-Specific Gamma Interferon Responses during the First Year of Life in HIV-1-Infected Infants
(2005)
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection results in different patterns of viral replication in pediatric compared to adult populations. The role of early HIV-1-specific responses in viral control has not been ...
Subtype C Is associated with increased vaginal shedding of HIV-1.
(2005-08-01)
The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected cells and HIV-1 RNA levels in genital secretions and breast milk and the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 were compared among subtypes A, C, and ...
Hospital outcomes for paediatric pneumonia and diarrhoea patients admitted in a tertiary hospital on weekdays versus weekends: a retrospective study
(2013-05-11)
Abstract
Background
Quality of patient care in hospitals has been shown to be inconsistent during weekends and night-time hours, and is often associated with reduced patient monitoring, poor ...
Predictors of early mortality in a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected African children.
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
Background: Pediatric human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection follows a bimodal clinical course with rapid progression in 10–45% of children before the age of 2 years and slower progression in the remainder. ...
Effect of breastfeeding and formula feeding on transmission of HIV-1: a randomized clinical trial.
(2000)
:
Transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is known to occur through breastfeeding, but the magnitude of risk has not been precisely defined. Whether breast milk HIV-1 transmission risk exceeds the ...
