- Genotypic distribution of HHV-8 in AIDS individuals without and with Kaposi sarcoma Is genotype B associated with better prognosis of AIDS-KS?(2016) TOZETTO-MENDOZA, Tania Regina; IBRAHIM, Karim Yaqub; TATENO, Adriana Fumie; OLIVEIRA, Cristiane Mendes de; SUMITA, Laura Massami; SANCHEZ, Maria Carmem Arroyo; LUNA, Expedito Jose; PIERROTTI, Ligia Camara; DREXLER, Jan Felix; BRAZ-SILVA, Paulo Henrique; PANNUTI, Claudio Sergio; ROMANO, Camila MaltaAIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (AIDS-KS) caused by human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is the most severe and resistant form of KS tumor. Our aim was to verify whether there is an association between HHV-8 variability and development of AIDS-KS in Brazil by comparing the HHV-8 variability between individuals without and with KS. Saliva samples and blood, when available, were analyzed by PCR techniques for detection of the fragments of ORF K1 of HHV-8, which were then genotyped and analyzed regarding the genetic variability. Our study described 106 positive cases for HHV-8 in the saliva from 751 AIDS patients without previous KS. In addition, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of HHV-8 in 34 of the 106 AIDS patients without KS and in 33 of the 37 patients with active KS. The distribution of HHV-8 genotypes A, B, C, and F in AIDS individuals was indistinguishable by comparing non-KS and KS groups, as well as regarding ethnicity. Considering the KS group, genotype B was associated with better prognosis of KS tumor. Interestingly. we found a particular profile of diversity within Glade C and 2 recombinant patterns of HHV-8 in the saliva of AIDS individuals without KS. We emphasize the need to achieve standard genotyping protocol for ORF K1 amplification, thus allowing for substantial detection of HHV-8 variants. Our findings can shed light on the role of HHV-8 variability in the pathogenesis of AIDS-KS.
article 8 Citação(ões) na Scopus HIV-1 drug resistance genotypic profiles in children with undetectable plasma viremia during antiretroviral therapy(2011) ANGELIS, Daniela Souza Araujo de; TATENO, Adriana Fumie; DIAZ, Ricardo Sobhie; SUCCI, Regina Celia de Menezes; PANNUTI, Claudio Sergio; GOUVEA, Aida de Fatima Barbosa; MACHADO, Daisy MariaTreatment of HIV-1 infection with highly active antiretroviral therapy has led to sustained viral suppression in the plasma in a large number of children. However, studies have suggested that the integrated provirus in resting CD4+ T lymphocytes could be a source of reactivatable virus and maintain drug-resistant virus. We evaluated the resistance-related mutations in children receiving antiretroviral therapy with prolonged viral suppression. Thirty-two peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from 16 children with viral loads that had been below detection limits for at least 12 months were obtained at two different time points and the DNAs sequenced. The median CD4 cell count was 1,016 cells/mm(3) (347-2,588) and 938 cells/mm(3) (440-3,038) at the first and second time points, respectively. The median follow-up time was 15 months (9-27). Six (37.5%) and seven (43.75%) of the 16 patients showed at least one NRTI-associated mutation in the first and second samples, respectively. Two out of 16 (12.5%) had an NNRTI-associated mutation at the first time point and three out of 16 (18.75%) at the second. In addition, 14 out of 16 (87.5%) had at least one PI-associated mutation at both time points. Despite plasma HIV-1 RNA suppression for at least 12 months, resistance-related mutations from previous antiretroviral failures could still be detected in archival virus. Furthermore, viral evolution occurred at the reverse transcriptase region in spite of viral suppression to levels below 400 copies/mL. Persistence of archival resistant virus may be relevant when considering future treatment options.- The Differential Clinical Impact of Human Coronavirus Species in Children With Cystic Fibrosis(2012) SILVA FILHO, Luiz Vicente Ribeiro Ferreira da; ZERBINATI, Rodrigo Melim; TATENO, Adriana Fumie; BOAS, Lucy Vilas; ALMEIDA, Marina Buarque de; LEVI, Jose Eduardo; DREXLER, Jan Felix; DROSTEN, Christian; PANNUTI, Claudio SergioWe investigated the clinical impact of human coronaviruses (HCoV) OC43, 229E, HKU1 and NL63 in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) during routine and exacerbation visits. A total of 408 nasopharyngeal aspirate samples were obtained from 103 patients over a 1-year period. Samples positive for HCoV were submitted for nucleotide sequencing to determine the species. Nineteen samples (4.65%) were positive for HCoV, of which 8 were positive for NL63, 6 for OC43, 4 for HKU1, and 1 for 229E. Identification of HCoV was not associated with an increased rate of respiratory exacerbations, but NL63-positive patients had higher exacerbation rates than patients who were positive for other HCoV species.
