Ons (mannanbinding activity) and MBL C4 cleavage activity in sera from 35 healthy adult volunteers of Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic or AfricanAmerican ancestry (females, n = 20). The sample had a 3.7 log10 range of MBL concentrations (0?,424 ng/mL) that were strongly correlated with the concordant MBL C4 cleavage values (0?7,468 U/mL; r2 = 0.91). The sample included three individuals with homozygous
Ributed to the expansion in access to services for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, the primary route of HIV acquisition in children. Sub-Saharan Africa is disproportionately represented in the epidemic with 69 of the global total of people living with HIV (UNAIDS 2012). An estimated 90 of the world's children living with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa. At the end of 2011, 54 of

T inducer of cytochrome P450 enzymes and is less likely to reduce concentrations of coadministered PIs, it is not yet widely available in developing countries, though access is rapidly expanding [22]. Further, RBT (and its main metabolite) are substrates of CYP3A, [23] leading to bidirectional drug interactions with PIs. For example, giving RTV, a potent inhibitor of CYP3A, together with RBT incre
Inclusive of treatment costs. Net treatment costs increase for the `Smear/LAM', `Xpert', and `Xpert/ LAM' algorithm compared with the `Smear' algorithm due to increased case detection, but was moderated by reductions in costs associated with false positive empiric treatment of individuals without TB (Table 3). Overall, diagnostic costs represented only a small percentage of total costs per patient
