Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of PCR and standard cytological staining for detection of Pneumocystis carinii from respiratory specimens from patients with or at high risk for infection by human immunodeficiency virus.
Eugene Leibovitz,Harold A. Pollack,Tiina Moore,J Papellas,Leza Gallo,Keith Krasinski,William Borkowsky +6 more
TL;DR: The ability of PCR to detect a low parasitic load suggests that this technique may become an important additional tool, along with current cytological methods, for the detection of P. carinii in this clinical setting and in the evaluation of sputum specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementation of HIV Testing at 2 New York City Bathhouses: From Pilot to Clinical Service
Demetre Daskalakis,Richard Silvera,Kyle T. Bernstein,Dylan J Stein,Robert Hagerty,Richard Hutt,Alith Maillard,William Borkowsky,Judith A. Aberg,Fred T. Valentine,Michael Marmor +10 more
TL;DR: Bathhouse-based testing for HIV infection can be implemented in New York City and would include a population of MSM who are at high risk for HIV infections, which may be a good strategy to reduce the forward transmission of HIV in this highly sexually active population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytomegalovirus infection in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected children.
Sulachni Chandwani,Aditya Kaul,Bebenroth D,Mimi Kim,David Di John,Andre Fidelia,Annette Hassel,William Borkowsky,Keith Krasinski +8 more
TL;DR: Symptomatic CMV disease occurred in young CMV-coinfected children with low CD4+ lymphocytes and elevated HIV p24 antigen concentrations, and whether progressive immunodeficiency allows the emergence ofCMV disease or CMV infection causes more rapidly progressive HIV-1 disease remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 with maternal viremia and lymphocyte phenotypes
William Borkowsky,Keith Krasinski,Yunzhen Cao,David D. Ho,Henry Pollack,Tiina Moore,Song-He Chen,Machelle Allen,Pei-Tan Tao +8 more
TL;DR: Increased viremia was present in mothers who transmitted HIV to their offspring, and this variable could be used to select women at highest risk of transmitting HIV to the offspring for treatment to decrease the HIV burden five-fold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic abnormalities and viral replication are associated with biomarkers of vascular dysfunction in HIV-infected children.
Tracie L. Miller,William Borkowsky,Linda A. DiMeglio,Laurie B. Dooley,Mitchell E. Geffner,Rohan Hazra,Elizabeth J. McFarland,Armando J. Mendez,Kunjal Patel,George K. Siberry,R. B. Van Dyke,Carol Worrell,Denise L. Jacobson +12 more
TL;DR: Levels of biomarkers of vascular dysfunction in HIV‐infected children (with and without hyperlipidaemia) are compared with those in HIV-exposed, uninfected children enrolled in the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS), and factors associated with these biomarkers are determined.
