Women’s knowledge, attitudes and practices related to mother-to-child transmission of HTLV-1 in Peru
Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can be transmitted from mother to child through breastfeeding and increases the risk of mortality and morbidity from inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic diseases. Short-duration breastfeeding or exclusive formula feeding reduces transmission. In Peru, where breastfeeding is common and populations affected by HTLV-1 lack access to safe water and sewage, which hinders control, understanding women’…
Optimizing healthcare for blood donors at risk of transfusion-transmissible infections
In the Peruvian Amazon, a significant proportion of replacement blood donors test reactive for HIV, HTLV-1/2, and other transfusion-transmissible infections but often receive no subsequent care. Optimizing healthcare for these individuals can mitigate adverse outcomes by enabling early diagnosis and management. Effective coordination between Blood Bank and Infectious Diseases services is essential to provide comprehensive care. To address this ch…
Sarcoma de Kaposi en personas que viven con VIH-Sida en un hospital público de referencia en Perú
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most frequent cancer in people living with HIV. Research on this condition is scarce in the region, therefore, this article aimed to describe the demographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with HIV who developed KS at the Cayetano Heredia Hospital between 2000 and 2018. A total of 129 KS cases were identified, with a median age of 33 years, predominantly males with 92% (119/129), and mostly men …
Cáncer en personas que viven con VIH-Sida en un hospital público de referencia en Perú
This study was carried out to describe and compare the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of HIV patients who developed some cancer. We identified 276 cancer cases diagnosed at Hospital Cayetano Heredia between 2000 and 2018. 80,8% (223/276) had AIDS-defining-cancers (ADCs), being Kaposi's Sarcoma the most frequent type; meanwhile, among non-AIDS-defining-cancers (NADCs), the most frequent was Hodgkin lymphoma. The median age …
