Ira Shah,Soumya Swaminathan,Geetha Ramachandran,A K Hemanth Kumar,Apurva Goray,Udit Chaddha,Swati Tayal,Mamatha Lala +7 more
TL;DR: Concurrent Rifampicin administration does not alter blood levels of Nevirapine; provided the dose of NevIRapine is increased by 20–30% provided drug administered is in the recommended dose.

Improved diagnosis of tuberculosis in HIV-positive patients using RD1-encoded antigen CFP-10
Parasa V. Ramana Rao,Madhan Kumar Murthy,S. Basirudeen,Pawan Sharma,Soumya Swaminathan,Alamelu Raja +5 more
TL;DR: Use of CFP-10 enhances the sensitivity of 38- kDa, and therefore the 38-kDa and CFP -10 antigen combination can be a diagnostic marker in HIV-TB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antigen detection as a point-of-care test for TB: the case of lipoarabinomannan.
TL;DR: Determine TB-LAM (Alere, MA, USA) is a simple, low-cost alternative to existing diagnostic assays for TB screening in HIV-infected patients with very low CD4(+) cell counts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short Communication: Influence of Active Tuberculosis on Chemokine and Chemokine Receptor Expression in HIV-Infected Persons
Luke Elizabeth Hanna,Jagadish Chandra Bose,Kaustuv Nayak,Sudha Subramanyam,Soumya Swaminathan +4 more
TL;DR: In vivo expression of the HIV-1 coreceptors, CCR5 and CXCR4, and circulating levels of the inhibitory beta-chemokines, macrophage inflammatory protein-1-alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES are investigated in HIV-positive individuals with and without active pulmonary tuberculosis to better understand the interaction of the host with HIV- 1 during active tuberculosis.
