Abstract

Background Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains a global health issue. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) controls HIV progression, but widespread use had led to drug resistance mutations (DRMs) such as M184V and K103N, compromising treatment efficacy. This study assessed the prevalence of these mutations and identified associated risk factors in patients with first-line nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-based ART. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 80 HIV patients aged > 18 years who had been on NRTI and non-NRTI (NNRTI) therapy for >6 months. Data included sociodemographic characteristics, ART adherence, opportunistic infections, viral load, CD4 count, treatment duration, ART regimen, and presence of M184V and/or K103N mutations. Genetic analysis was performed and statistical associations were assessed using simple and multivariate logistic regression. Results M184V and/or K103N mutations were detected in 8 patients (10%), significantly associated with poor ART adherence (p<0.01), detectable viral load (p<0.01) and male gender (p=0.048), but not with age (p=0.653), body mass index (p=0.661), opportunistic infections (p=0.938), CD4 count (p=0.265), and treatment duration (p=0.365). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that poor ART adherence was associated with a decreased risk of mutations compared to good adherence (OR = 0.73, 95% CI:0.012-0.427) and male patients had a 10-fold higher risk compared to females (OR = 10.03, 95% CI:1.033-97.350). Conclusion This study demonstrated that male gender was significantly associated with an increased risk of mutations, while poor ART adherence showed an unexpected inverse association. Strengthening adherence support programs remains essential to preventing drug resistance mutations and ensuring treatment efficacy.

Abstract

Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is caused by B-cell hyperactivity, which stimulates the production of autoantibodies, leading to the formation of immune complexes and resulting in tissue damage. Increased B-cell activation is associated with disease activity in SLE. The cytokine B-cell Activating Factor (BAFF) and its soluble BAFF receptor (sBAFF-R) play a crucial role in B-cell activation and survival. Their serum levels may serve as potential biomarkers for SLE severity. This study aimed to compare serum levels of BAFF and sBAFF-R between SLE patients with mild, moderate, and severe disease activity. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 33 female SLE patients. Subjects were divided into mild, moderate, and severe disease activity groups. Disease activity was assessed using Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (MEX-SLEDAI) scores. Serum BAFF and sBAFF-R levels were measured using ELISA. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The median serum BAFF level in SLE patients was 0.51 ng/mL, and 4.66 ng/mL in sBAFF-R level.There was a statistically significant difference in serum BAFF and sBAFF-R levels between mild, moderate, and severe disease activity among SLE patients (p<0.0001). Conclusion Increased serum levels of BAFF and sBAFF-R may influence disease activity in SLE. Serum concentrations of BAFF and sBAFF-R were found to be associated with disease severity, including mild, moderate, and severe categories. These findings suggest that serum BAFF and sBAFF-R levels may serve as potential biomarkers for assessing SLE activity.

Abstract

BackgroundAccording to the WHO, 38 million people suffer from HIV worldwide and according to the HIV Drug Resistance Report, the prevalence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) resistance is 3-29%. Drug resistance-associated mutations (DRAMs) are the presence of one or more HIV mutations that reduce the ability of certain drugs to inhibit viral replication and that will increase viral replication and HIV RNA, which can lead to therapeutic failure. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of HIV-1 DRAMs among patients with chronic HIV-1 infections and to compare HIV RNA viral load between M184V and K103N mutations. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted involving 80 patients with HIV who met the inclusion criteria. The study subjects were examined for genotype and HIV RNA viral load, both using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results The overall drug resistance mutation prevalence was 10.0%. The most common mutations were M184V and K103N. There was a significant difference between the median HIV RNA viral load counts in patients with either M184V or K103N, and with both M184V and K103N mutations, the values being 45.420, 13.207, and 97.517 copies/mL, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion The HIV RNA viral load count was higher in the mutation group than in the group without mutation. Long-term and ongoing surveillance of HIV DRAMs among these patients is necessary, which will help us to adjust the treatment regimen.
