Earlier reports on HIV-1 infected blood donors with history of oral iron intake and biochemical evidence of iron overload documented development of high incidence of PT on follow up. Methods: A group of HIV-1 infected asymptomatic blood donors, belonging to replacement or voluntary categories, were subjected to TST and anergy testing using a commercial panel of recall antigens along with estimation of serum iron parameters, peripheral CD4+ T cell count, plasma viral load and assessment of in vitro production of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in response to PHA, BCG and PPD. Results: The replacement category of donors showed biochemical evidence of iron overload with high proportion (60%) demonstrating negative TST response on initial testing at enrollment but positive response on repeat testing after 2-3 weeks (boosting) or after 1 year (conversion) consequent to normalization of iron parameters. However, such initial negative TST response at enrollment in donors showing boosting or conversion was not associated with evidence of anergy to recall antigens but corroborated with impaired IFN-γ production by PBMC to PPD challenge that could be reversed on addition of exogeneous recombinant interleukin 12 (rIL-12). Majority (63.6%) of replacement donors showing boosting reaction or conversion developed PT on follow up. Conclusion: Subclinical iron overload may mask TST response due to impaired production of IFN-γ by PBMC to M. tuberculosis specific antigens that could be related to inadequate cooperation of IL-12 from macrophages. Such masking of TST associated with iron overload may hamper predictive value of TST for future development of PT.","PeriodicalId":14458,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virology and AIDS","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78790273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human beings are facing an intractable problem in unexpected time and place due to these viral diseases. Human, ecological, and viral related factors are the contributing factors in the emergence or re-emergence of viral infectious disease. Travel, mass gathering, urbanization, fragile or deteriorated health systems, weak disease surveillance system, limited laboratory diagnostic capacity, war, migration, poor hygienic practice, illegal animal trade, hunting and eating infected animals are among human-re-lated factors that contribute in emergence or re-emergence of viral infectious disease. Deforestation, climate change, invasion of animal habitats, the building of dams and intensive agricultural practice are contributing factors to the emergence or re-emergence of viral infectious disease. The last but not least risk factor for emergence or re-emergence of infectious viral disease is the virus-related factors. RNA viruses are deadly pathogens since they are evolving rapidly in any hostile conditions and exhibit error-prone gene replication. Mutation, reassortment, and recombination at-tributed to high evolution rate. Among many RNA viruses, coronaviruses are enveloped, helical with large, positive sense, single-stranded RNA genome, and contain club-shaped surface proteins called spikes. Among many coronaviruses, the current temerged coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) can be considered as an “inferno” which aims to damage human beings irrespective of wealth, education-al status, color, race, gender, religion, and class. This newly emerged virus has a detrimental impact on the economy, health, tourism, social interaction, education, religion, labor, markets, transportation, and human freedom, and in general, every sector is disrupted by COVID-19. Therefore, the aim of this review article is to provide an overview of emerging and re-emerging viral diseases, contributing factors, and a brief overview is also given to coronaviruses with especial emphasis to COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":14458,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virology and AIDS","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84134849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nutrition \u0000D can reduce the chance of viral epidemics and pandemics in numerous approaches. First, better 25 (OH)D concentrations lessen the chance of \u0000many continual illnesses, together with cancers, cardiovascular sickness, continual Respiratory Tract Infections (RTIs), diabetes mellitus, and high \u0000blood pressure.

To limit the transmission of HIV within couples, UNAIDS has defined many strategies, including unconditional treatment of the infected partner, systematic condom use, assisted reproduction, regular screening of the negative partner. In Cameroon, there is little information on the follow up of HIV serodiscordant and seroconcordant couples. The purpose of this work was to describe risky behaviors within serodiscordant couples. Method: This cohort study was conducted in five health facilities. The data were collected using a survey form and the blood collected was used to test consenting participants for HIV, HbsAg, HCV, syphilis, and chlamydia. Data were analyzed using the GraphPad Prism 6 software. Results: Eighteen seroconcordant and fifty tree serodiscordant couples agreed to participate in the study, where women were predominantly infected (56.66%). Serodiscordance was known for 64 months on average. Among serodiscordant couples, 86.79% infected partners were on ARV treatment, among them 10/46 (15.22%) stopped treatment. Sexual relationship existed in 50/53 couples, with non-systematic use of condom in 44 couples (83.01%). Extramarital relationships were reported in 10 of the 23 serodiscordant couples (56.60%) with libido disorders. HBsAg was most present in HIV infected women (11.32 %) while, HIV-uninfected men were most infected with viral hepatitis C (7. 55 %). Conclusion: This work has highlighted many risky behaviors in serodiscordant couples. It remains essential to provide continuous counselling to serodiscordant couples and to associate systematic STI screening in all cases of HIV/ AIDS serodiscordance.","PeriodicalId":14458,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virology and AIDS","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85682742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
