| [effect of primary prevention of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia on the inaugural clinical and biological presentation of aids: 624 cases (aquitaine cohort, 1985-1994)]. | in a cohort of hiv-infected patients, this study compares the clinical and immunological features at the time of aids diagnosis of patients who either received primary pneumocystis carinii prophylaxis (p+; n = 335) or who did not (p-; n = 289). frequency of p carinii pneumonia was lower in p+ than in p- patients (14.9% vs 26.0%; p < 0.001). conversely, toxoplasmic encephalitis, esophageal candidiasis, cytomegalovirus disease and m avium complex disease were more frequent in p+ patients. cd4+ cou ... | 1995 | 8570937 |
| incidence of cytomegalovirus disease in the aquitaine cohort of hiv-infected patients: a retrospective survey, 1987-1993. groupe d'epidémilogie clinique du sida en aquitaine (gecsa). | we estimated the incidence of the first episodes of cytomegalovirus (cmv) disease in the aquitaine cohort of hiv-infected subjects, south-western france. cases were retrospectively investigated using standardized definition criteria. retinitis was confirmed by an ophthalmologist. gastro-intestinal lesions were confirmed histologically. encephalitis was histologically confirmed; it was considered possible if tdm or magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and symptomatology suggested this diagnosis. pneu ... | 1997 | 9354350 |

| incidence of primary opportunistic infections in two human immunodeficiency virus-infected french clinical cohorts. | clinical guidelines for the prevention of opportunistic infections in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-infected individuals have been developed on the basis of natural history data collected in the usa. the objective of this study was to estimate the incidence of primary opportunistic infections in hiv-infected individuals in geographically distinct cohorts in france. | 2001 | 11511618 |
| cmv plasma dnaemia and risk of cancer among hiv-infected patients: a case-control study nested in the anrs co3 aquitaine cohort, france, 2002-2007. | cmv reactivation, which enhances immune senescence, could be associated with a higher risk of cancer. | 2010 | 21126905 |
| predictive factors of occurrence of cytomegalovirus disease and impact on survival in the aquitaine cohort in france, 1985 to 1994. groupe d'epidémiologie clinique du sida en aquitaine. | our objectives were to determine the factors associated with the occurrence of a first episode of cytomegalovirus (cmv) disease in an hiv-infected population and to estimate the overall impact of cmv disease on survival. the study population consisted of the 3525 patients included in the aquitaine cohort between 1985 and december 31, 1993. eligible patients (n = 1868) must have had at least one cd4+ lymphocyte count of <200 cells/mm3 during follow-up, which represents the baseline period. cmv di ... | 1998 | 9473020 |
