  <p><i>Background - </i>Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection causes impairment of the gastrointestinal barrier, with substantial depletion of CD4⁺ T cells in the gut. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) restores CD4⁺ counts and may have beneficial effects on gut microbiota in adults. Little is known about effect of long-term ART on gut microbiome in HIV-infected children. We ...

  HIV-infection in children and adolescents in Zimbabwe: viral suppression, airway abnormalities and gut microbiota. 

  Sovershaeva, Evgeniya (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-12-10)

  Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region with the highest burden of HIV among both children and adults. Access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved survival, yet data on long-term virological outcomes are scarce. In addition, recent evidence indicates that HIV-infected ART-treated children are at increased risk of lung impairment, and data on the pathological mechanisms involved are limited. ...
