pentoxifylline and AIDS-Related Opportunistic Infections

pentoxifylline has been researched along with AIDS-Related Opportunistic Infections in 4 studies

AIDS-Related Opportunistic Infections: Opportunistic infections found in patients who test positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The most common include PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA, Kaposi's sarcoma, cryptosporidiosis, herpes simplex, toxoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and infections with Mycobacterium avium complex, Microsporidium, and Cytomegalovirus.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Thus, macrophages from AIDS patients with disseminated MAC infection are deficient in their ability to release TNF alpha, and further inhibition by pentoxifylline may be detrimental."1.29Pentoxifylline aggravates impairment in tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion and increases mycobacterial load in macrophages from AIDS patients with disseminated Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex infection. ( Nedunchezian, D; Sarai, A; Sathe, SS; Tsigler, D, 1994)
