TL;DR: Early detection of SARS-CoV in throat wash and saliva suggests that these specimens are ideal for SARS diagnosis.

TL;DR: Between June 1994 and February 2003, a total of 111 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection and 387 HIV- Infected patients without HBV or hepatitis C virus coinfections were prospectively observed to assess the impact of HBV infection on outcomes of HIV- infected patients.

TL;DR: People infected with HIV in Taiwan are at increased risk for invasive amebiasis and exhibit a relatively high frequency of elevated antibody titers and intestinal colonization with E histolytica.

TL;DR: The data indicated that virologic, immunologic, and clinical responses to HAART and prognosis of HIV-1-infected TB patients who were concurrently treated with antituberculous therapy and HAART were similar to those of non-TB patients.

TL;DR: HDV infection increased risk of hepatitis flares, liver cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, and death in patients with HBV-HIV coinfection, but did not affect clinical, virological, or immunologic responses to highly active antiretroviral therapy.
