Title : Effects of HIV-1 and HIV-1/2 coinfection on patients with asymptomatic urinary tract infection attending HIV clinics in Benin City, Nigeria Authors: R. Omoregie, Author ; R. O. Okojie, Author ; N. O. Eghafona, Author Publisher: Uyo [Nigeria] : University of Uyo - Faculty of Clinical Sciences - College of Health Sciences - Publication Date: 2018 Series: World Journal of Biomedical Research, ISSN 2536-6645 No. 5(1) Pagination: p.22-31 Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 2536-6645 Languages : English Keywords: HIV Infections Coinfection Urinary Tract Infections AIDS-Related Opportunistic Infections Nigeria - Benin City Abstract: Conflicting reports exist on the effect of HIV types on disease progression and relation to opportunistic infections. This study aims to determine the effect of HIV types on the prevalence and aetiologic agents of urinary tract infection (UTI). A total of 485 subjects consisting of 335 HIV patients and 150 non-HIV subjects without symptoms of UTI were recruited for this study. The HIV patients comprised of 251 on HAART and 84 HAART-naive patients. Blood and urine specimens were collected from all subjects. The blood specimens were used to determine HIV type and CD4 count while significant microbial isolates were recovered from the urine specimens and identified using standard techniques. Only HIV patients on HAART had significantly higher prevalence of asymptomatic UTI compared with non-HIV subjects (p=0.0234). However, comparing the prevalence of asymptomatic UTI of the various HIV types with that of non-HIV subjects, the results showed only HIV-1 to be significantly associated with asymptomatic UTI (p<0.05). CD4 count <200 cells/?L was not associated with UTI. Generally, Staphylococcus aureus was the most common aetiologic agent of UTI. Among HIV patients (both HAART-naive and those on HAART) with HIV-1, Staphylococcus aureus was the most common cause of UTI, while among those with HIV-1/2 dual infection, Escherichia coli predominated. HIV types have an effect on the prevalence and aetiologic agents of asymptomatic UTI.

Title : Extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria among diabetic patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria in a secondary health facility in Edo State, Nigeria Authors: H. O. Ogefere, Author ; A. Okolosi, Author ; R. Omoregie, Author ; E. E.

Layout: Journal article ISSN (or other code): 2536-6645 Languages : English Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus beta-Lactamases Bacteriuria Urinary Tract Infections Health Facilities Nigeria Abstract: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) can increase the risk for developing symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) and diabetes mellitus is one of the high risk medical condition for ASB. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria in diabetic patients attending Central Hospital, Benin City. The descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted for this study, while data was obtained with the use of a structured questionnaire administered on 695 consented diabetic patients. Statistical analysis was done using the statistical software INSTAT� (Graph Pad Software Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). Mid-stream urine samples were aseptically collected from these patients, processed and analysed using standard techniques. Identification of bacterial isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. ESBL-producers were detected using appropriate phenotypic method. A total of 253(36.4%) patients were culture positive with Escherichia coli being the most predominant organism (37.5%). Proteus mirabilis was the highest ESBL producer and was statistically significant (50.0%) (p=0.0095). Uncontrolled glycaemia was associated with ESBL-production among bacterial isolates (P=0.0129). Age, gender and source of clinical isolates did not significantly affect ESBL production by the isolated uropathogenic bacteria (P >0.05).The prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria among diabetic patients having ASB was 36.8%. Adherence to proper and effective antimicrobial regimen and laboratory guidance in treatment of ASB among diabetic patients are recommended.

Title : Prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among HIV patients in Benin City, Nigeria Authors: F. O. Akinbo ; C. E. Okaka, Author ; R. Omoregie, Author Publisher: London [United Kingdom] : Taylor&Francis Group Publication Date: 2010 Series: Libyan Journal of Medicine, ISSN 1819-6357 No. (5); 1-6 incl Supplements Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 1819-6357 Languages : English Keywords: Intestinal Diseases, Parasitic CD4 Lymphocyte Count HIV Infections Demography Nigeria - Benin City Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the presence of intestinal parasites and their correlation with CD4+ T-cell counts and demographics among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients in Benin City; Nigeria. Stool specimens from 2;000 HIV-positive patients and 500 controls (HIV-negative individuals) were examined for ova; cysts; or parasites; using standard procedures. In addition; patient's blood samples were analyzed for CD4 counts by flow cytometry. An overall prevalence rate of 15.3was observed among HIVpositive patients while 6.2was noted among non-HIV subjects. HIV status was a significant (P0.0001) risk factor for acquiring intestinal parasitic infections. Male gender; CD4 count 200 cell/ml; and diarrhea were significantly associated with an increased prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among HIVpositive patients. The level of education; occupation; and source of water among HIV patients significantly (P0.0001) affected the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections. Ascaris lumbricoides was the most predominant parasite in both HIV-positive patients and controls. A CD4 count 200 cells/ml was significantly associated with only Isospora belli and Cryptosporidium infections. The presence of pathogenic intestinal parasites such as A. lumbricoides; hookworm; Giardia intestinalis; Entamoeba histolytica; Trichuris trichiura; and Taenia species among HIV-infected persons should not be neglected. Cryptosporidium species and I. belli were the opportunistic parasites observed in this study. Routine screening for intestinal parasites in HIV-positive patients is advocated.
