Pere Domingo,Xavier Matias-Guiu,Ramon M. Pujol,Esther Francia,Elena Lagarda,Maria A. Sambeat,Guillermo Vázquez +6 more
TL;DR: Subcutaneous adipocyte apoptosis occurs in lipoatrophic areas of patients with HIV-1 protease inhibitor-associated lipodystrophy, and was more pronounced in patients with higher increases in CD4 and CD8 counts, and in those with a greater decay in plasma viral load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome predictors of pneumonia in elderly patients: importance of functional assessment.
Olga H. Torres,Jose Muñoz,Domingo Ruiz,Josep Ris,Ignasi Gich,Eva Coma,Mercè Gurguí,Guillermo Vázquez +7 more
TL;DR: Elderly patients with community‐acquired pneumonia seen at an acute‐care hospital are evaluated, analyzing the importance of CAP severity, functional status, comorbidity, and frailty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection caused by Nocardia farcinica: case report and review.
TL;DR: Although an infrequent pathogen, Nocardia farcinica should be kept in mind as a cause of infection especially in immunosuppressed patients with indolent infections not responding to third-generation cephalosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herpes zoster as an immune reconstitution disease after initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy in patients with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infection
TL;DR: The initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected patients was often associated with the development of herpes zoster, especially in those in whom the number of CD8 cells increased after therapy.
