pteridines and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

pteridines has been researched along with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in 11 studies

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"An increase in total urinary neopterin was observed in 12 of 13 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), seven of 13 patients with lymphadenopathy, one of six healthy homosexual males, seven of ten adult patients with staphylococcal pneumonia, 11 of 12 children with viral infections, four of seven children with bacterial infections, and 12 of 13 children with various immune defects."3.67Neopterin in AIDs, other immunodeficiencies, and bacterial and viral infections.

"The diagnosis of AIDS was corroborated by highly elevated urinary neopterin levels."1.27[1st case of AIDS in Salzburg. Important diagnostic hint by determination of neopterin]. ( Fuchs, D; Hausen, A; Pilz, P; Reibnegger, G; Wachter, H; Wessely, K, 1985)
