| epidemiological studies on pulmonary pathogens in hiv-positive and -negative subjects with or without community-acquired pneumonia with special emphasis on mycoplasma pneumoniae. | the prevalence of mycoplasma pneumoniae among hiv-positive patients with community-acquired pneumonia (cap) remains unclear. we investigated 300 hiv-positive adults (200 with cap and 100 with no respiratory illness) and 75 hiv-negative adults with cap for the prevalence of respiratory pathogens using culture and serology. a growth inhibition test was employed to confirm the isolates of m. pneumoniae using species-specific typing sera. the prevalence of m. pneumoniae in hiv-positive subjects was ... | 2007 | 18032830 |
| detection of pulmonary mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in hiv-infected subjects using culture and serology. | the true prevalence of mycoplasma pneumoniae infections involving the respiratory tracts of hiv-infected individuals is still unclear. this study examined the prevalence of m. pneumoniae in 100 hiv-infected individuals at an aids care center in chennai, india, using conventional laboratory techniques and interpretation criteria. | 2007 | 16914347 |
| seroprevalence of mycoplasma pneumoniae in hiv-infected patients using a microparticle agglutination test. | mycoplasma pneumoniae is increasingly recognized as a common and important pathogen in community settings, and is responsible for various pulmonary and extrapulmonary conditions in the normal population. however, the seroepidemiology of acute m. pneumoniae infection in hiv-infected individuals is still unclear worldwide. this study examined the seroprevalence of antibodies to m. pneumoniae in hiv-infected patients admitted with respiratory complaints at a tertiary aids care centre in chennai, in ... | 2006 | 16687596 |
| serosurveillance of acute mycoplasma pneumoniae infection among hiv infected patients with pulmonary complaints in chennai, southern india. | the true seroepidemiology of acute mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in hiv infected individuals is ambiguous. | 2006 | 16442630 |
