Abstract | Mucosal surfaces have a fundamental participation in many aspects of the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection pathogenesis. In Brazilian HIV-1 infected subjects, loss of weight and appetite are
among the most debilitating symptoms. In this review we describe a defined mucosal immunogen that
has profound but transient effects on HIV viral load, and we suggest that gut associated lymphoid tissue
under constant immunostimulation is likely to provide a major contribution to the total levels of HIV. We
also show that hypermetabolism appears to play a role in the wasting process in Brazilian patients
coinfected with HIV and tuberculosis. | pt_BR |
