His immunohistochemical diagnosis presented Castleman's disease in plasmacytic/diffuse form. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The literature is lacking in details about the clinical workup of patients presenting with tuberculous meningitis with encephalopathic features who are co-infected with HIV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further workup was performed to rule out inflammatory or infectious conditions by blood and cerebrospinal fluid examinations. [ahajournals.org]
[…] infection with AIDS-defining opportunistic infections These 3 categories are further subdivided on the basis of the CD4+ T-cell count, as follows: > 500/µL: Categories A1, B1, C1 200-400/µL: Categories A2, B2, C2 < 200/µL: Categories A3, B3, C3 See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Thus, patients with MT-2-positive virus have limited benefit from treatment with single nucleoside analogues. Knowledge of MT-2 cell tropism may be important in clinical trials and for choosing treatments for patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, KS has an aggressive course and carries poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We therefore believe it is important to inelude BCH in the spectrum of likely pulmonary radiological signs in the HlV-infected population, though further studies must be done to assess the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and prognosis of BCH. [archbronconeumol.org]
Etiology
Its etiology remains unknown, although isolated familial cases have suggested that acquired and inherited forms of the disease may exist. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
The data presented here lead to a better understanding of the consequences of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of HIV infection and also enable us to evaluate the potential use of antioxidant molecules as therapeutic agents against AIDS. [doi.org]
