Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus infection measured by antibodies to recombinant capsid protein and latent immunofluorescence antigen
Guy Simpson,Thomas F. Schulz,Denise Whitby,Pamela M. Cook,Chris Boshoff,Lucille Rainbow,Mark R Howard,Shou-Jiang Gao,Roy A. Bohenzky,Peter Simmonds,C. A. Lee,A de Ruiter,Angelos Hatzakis,Richard S. Tedder,Ian Weller,R A Weiss,Patrick S. Moore +16 more
TL;DR: The distribution of antibodies to both a capsid-related recombinant protein and latent antigen of KSHV strongly supports the view that infection with this virus is largely confined to individuals with, or at increased risk for, KS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-eclampsia, antiretroviral therapy, and immune reconstitution.
Ruwan Wimalasundera,Nick Larbalestier,JH Smith,A de Ruiter,S. A. McG. Thom,Alun D. Hughes,Neil R Poulter,Lesley Regan,Graham P. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: The association of HIV-1-related immune deficiency with a low rate of pre-eclampsia, and the restoration of this rate in women treated with triple antiretroviral therapy to the expected rate indicates a pivotal role of the immune system in the pathogenesis ofPre-eClampsia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for the management of HIV infection in pregnant women and the prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission of HIV
D Hawkins,M. Blott,P. Clayden,A de Ruiter,G. Foster,C. Gilling-Smith,B. Gosrani,H. Lyall,Danielle Mercey,Marie-Louise Newell,Siobhan O'Shea,Richard P. Smith,J. Sunderland,Charles E. Wood,Graham P. Taylor +14 more
TL;DR: These guidelines give up-to-date information on interventions to reduce the risk of mother to child transmission of HIV, and rely heavily on ‘expert opinion’ in addressing many common and/or difficult clinical scenarios in the absence of ‘best evidence’.
Journal ArticleDOI
British HIV Association and Children's HIV Association guidelines for the management of HIV infection in pregnant women 2008
A de Ruiter,Danielle Mercey,Jane Anderson,Rana Chakraborty,P Clayden,Graham R. Foster,C. Gilling-Smith,D Hawkins,Naomi Low-Beer,Hermione Lyall,S O'Shea,Z Penn,J Short,Richard P. Smith,S Sonecha,Pat A Tookey,C Wood,Graham P. Taylor +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a summary of recommendations for reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV in pregnant women, including interventions to reduce mother to child transmission of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serologic evidence of human herpesvirus 8 transmission by homosexual but not heterosexual sex.
N. A. Smith,Caroline A. Sabin,R. Gopal,Dimitra Bourboulia,W. Labbet,Chris Boshoff,D. Barlow,B. S. Peters,A de Ruiter,Dannae Brown,Robin A. Weiss,Jennifer M. Best,Denise Whitby +12 more
TL;DR: Among heterosexuals there was no evidence for sexual transmission; the only independent risk factor for HHV-8 seropositivity was birth in Africa and, among homo/bisexual men, a history of syphilis and HSV-2 and human immunodeficiency virus seropposivity.
