Liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography predicts early recovery from acute hepatitis
The use of ultrasonography, transient elestography, APRI and FIB-4 to measure liver steatosis and fibrosis in HIV-positive patients not co-infected with hepatitis viruses with hypertransaminasemia of unknown origin on HAART
Hyper-reactive malaria splenomegaly in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus
Both hyper-reactive malarial splenomegaly (HMS) and HIV infection are highly prevalent in sub-Saharan
Africa, but the inter-relationships between the two conditions are not clearly defined. Diagnosis of HMS is particularly
difficult in HIV-infected patients, and detection of circulating malaria parasites by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may
represent a useful diagnostic tool
