    • Azithromycin versus placebo for the treatment of HIV-associated chronic lung disease in children and adolescents (BREATHE trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial 

      Gonzalez-Martinez, Carmen; Kranzer, Katharina; McHugh, Grace; Corbett, Elizabeth L.; Mujuru, Hilda A.; Nicol, Mark P; Rowland-Jones, Sarah; Rehman, Andrea M.; Gutteberg, Tore Jarl; Flægstad, Trond; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Ferrand, Rashida (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-28)
      Background<br> Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related chronic lung disease (CLD) among children is associated with substantial morbidity, despite antiretroviral therapy. This may be a consequence of repeated respiratory tract infections and/or dysregulated immune activation that accompanies HIV infection. Macrolides have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and we hypothesised that ...

    • Effect of Once-Weekly Azithromycin vs Placebo in Children With HIV-Associated Chronic Lung Disease: The BREATHE Randomized Clinical Trial 

      Ferrand, Rashida A.; McHugh, Grace; Rehman, Andrea M.; Mujuru, Hilda A.; Simms, Victoria; Majonga, Edith D.; Nicol, Mark P.; Flægstad, Trond; Gutteberg, Tore Jarl; Gonzalez-Martinez, carmen; Corbett, Elizabeth L.; Rowland-Jones, Sarah; Kranzer, Katharina; Weiss, Helen Anne; Odland, Jon Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-17)
      <i>Importance</i> - HIV-associated chronic lung disease (HCLD) in children is associated with small airways disease, is common despite antiretroviral therapy (ART), and is associated with substantial morbidity. Azithromycin has antibiotic and immunomodulatory activity and may be effective in treating HCLD through reducing respiratory tract infections and inflammation.<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - ...

    • Exhaled nitric oxide is associated with inflammatory biomarkers and risk of acute respiratory exacerbations in children with HIV-associated chronic lung disease 

      Flygel, Trym Thune; Hameiri-Bowen, Dan; Simms, Victoria; Rowland-Jones, Sarah; Ferrand, Rashida Abbas; Bandason, Tsitsi; Yindom, Louis-Marie; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Cavanagh, Jorunn Pauline; Flægstad, Trond; Sovershaeva, Evgeniya (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-07)
      Objectives: Chronic lung disease is a recognized complication in children with HIV. Acute respiratory exacerbations (ARE) are common among this group and cause significant morbidity. Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is a known marker of local airway inflammation. We investigated the association between eNO and ARE, biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and the effect of azithromycin on eNO levels.<p> ...

    • History of tuberculosis is associated with lower exhaled nitric oxide levels in HIV-infected children 

      Sovershaeva, Evgeniya; Kranzer, Katharina; McHugh, Grace; Bandason, Tsitsi; Majonga, Edith D.; Usmani, Omar S.; Rowland-Jones, Sarah; Gutteberg, Tore Jarl; Flægstad, Trond; Ferrand, Rashida A.; Odland, Jon Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-01)
      <p><i>Objective - </i>HIV disrupts host defense mechanisms and maintains chronic inflammation in the lung. Nitric oxide is a marker of lung inflammation and can be measured in the exhaled air. We investigated the relationship between exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), HIV status and airway abnormalities in perinatally HIV-infected children aged 6–19 years. <p><i>Design - </i>A cross-sectional study. <p ...
