Inhibitors of Viral Protein Synthesis01:30

Inhibitors of Viral Protein Synthesis

Protein synthesis is indispensable for viral replication, as viruses lack the cellular machinery required for this process and must hijack the host's translational apparatus. In response, host cells deploy a critical innate immune defense involving interferons, specialized cytokines that play a central role in inhibiting viral propagation.Upon viral detection, infected cells release interferons that bind to receptors on adjacent uninfected cells, activating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and...
Retrovirus Life Cycles01:10

Retrovirus Life Cycles

Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the retrovirus to...
Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...
Cryptococcal Meningitis01:27

Cryptococcal Meningitis

Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection predominantly associated with HIV/AIDS, accounting for over 100,000 deaths annually worldwide. However, it also affects individuals with other forms of immunosuppression, including those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, organ transplant recipients, patients with innate immunodeficiencies, and individuals with hematological disorders. The infection is caused mainly by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii,...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
Mode of...
Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency disorders...

Summary

Highly active antiretroviral therapies (ART) manage HIV but cause side effects like allergic reactions and lipodystrophy. Adjusting ART regimens with alternative agents is key to managing these common, lifelong treatment complications.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Highly active antiretroviral therapies (ART) have transformed HIV management, reducing morbidity and mortality.
  • Lifelong ART is necessary for the incurable HIV infection, leading to common and potentially prognostic side effects.
  • Dermatologists frequently encounter ART-associated allergic reactions, lipodystrophy syndrome, and immune reconstitution syndrome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common dermatological side effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV.
  • To differentiate ART-associated exanthems from other causes like immune reconstitution or syphilis.
  • To discuss the mechanisms and management of ART-related adverse events.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its dermatological side effects.
  • Categorization of side effects based on ART drug classes (NNRTIs, NRTIs, PIs).
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges in differentiating drug reactions from other exanthems.

Main Results:

  • Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are typically associated with allergic exanthems.
  • Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) can cause mitochondrial toxicity, leading to lipoatrophy and hepatic steatosis.
  • Protease inhibitors (PIs) are linked to gastrointestinal issues, metabolic dysregulation, and lipohypertrophy.

Conclusions:

  • ART side effects are common and require careful dermatological evaluation and management.
  • Identifying the causative agent among numerous ART medications is crucial for managing exanthems.
  • Regimen adjustment with alternative, effective ART agents should be considered before other interventions for side effects.
