Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: HIV infection is one of the world’s biggest health problems, with millions of people infected worldwide. HIV infects cells in the immune system, where it primarily targets CD4+ T helper cells and without treatment, the disease leads to the collapse of the host immune system and ultimately death. Mathematical models have been used extensively to study the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS. They have proven to be effective tools in studying the transmission dynamics of HIV. These models provide predictions that can help better our understanding of the epidemiological patterns of HIV, especially the mechanism associated with the spread of the disease. In this thesis we made a functional comparison between existing epidemiological models for HIV, with the focus of the comparison on the force of infection (FOI). The spread of infection is a crucial part of any infectious disease, as the dynamics of the disease depends greatly on the rate of transmission from an infectious individual to a susceptible individual. First, a review was done to see what deterministic epidemiological models exist. We found that many manuscripts do not provide the necessary information to recreate the authors’ results and only a small amount of the models could be simulated. The reason for this is mainly due to a lack of information or due to mistakes in the article. The models were divided into four categories for the analysis. On the basis of the FOI, we distinguished between frequency- or density-dependent transmission, and as a second criterion we distinguished models on the sexual activity of the AIDS group. Subsequently, the models were compared in terms of their FOI, within and between these classes. We showed that for larger populations, frequency-dependent transmission should be used. This is the case for HIV, where the disease is mainly spread through sexual contact. Inclusion of AIDS patients in the group of infectious individuals is important for the accuracy of transmission dynamics. More than half of the studies that were selected in the review assumed that AIDS patients are too sick to engage in risky sexual behaviour. We see that including AIDS patients in the infectious individuals class has a significant effect on the FOI when the value for the probability of transmission for an individual with AIDS is bigger than that of the other classes. The analysis shows that the FOI can vary depending on the parameter values and the assumptions made. Many models compress various parameter values into one, most often the transmission probability. Not showing the parameter values separately makes it difficult to understand how the FOI works, since there are unknown factors that have an influence. Improving the accuracy of the FOI can help us to better understand what factors influence it, and also produce more realistic results. Writing the probability of transmission as a function of the viral load can help to make the FOI more accurate and also help in the understanding of the effects that viral dynamics have on the population transmission dynamics.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: MIV-infeksie is een van die wêreld se grootste gesondheidsprobleme, met miljoene mense wat wêreldwyd geïnfekteer is. MIV infekteer selle in die immuunstelsel, waar dit hoofsaaklik CD4+ T-helperselle teiken. Sonder behandeling lei die siekte tot die ineenstorting van die gasheer se immuunstelsel en uiteindelik sy dood. Wiskundige modelle word breedvoerig gebruik om die epidemiologie van MIV/vigs te bestudeer. Die modelle is doeltreffende instrumente in die studie van die oordrag-dinamika van MIV. Hulle lewer voorspellings wat kan help om ons begrip van epidemiologiese patrone van MIV, veral die meganisme wat verband hou met die verspreiding van die siekte, te verbeter. In hierdie tesis het ons ‘n funksionele vergelyking tussen bestaande epidemiologiese modelle vir MIV gedoen, met die fokus van die vergelyking op die tempo van infeksie (TVI). Die verspreiding van infeksie is ‘n belangrike deel van enige aansteeklike siekte, aangesien die dinamika van die siekte grootliks afhang van die tempo van oordrag van ‘n aansteeklike persoon na ‘n vatbare persoon. ‘n Oorsig is gedoen om te sien watter kompartementele epidemiologiese modelle alreeds bestaan. Ons het gevind dat baie van die manuskripte nie die nodige inligting voorsien wat nodig is om die resultate van die skrywers te repliseer nie, en slegs ‘n klein hoeveelheid van die modelle kon gesimuleer word. Die rede hiervoor is hoofsaaklik as gevolg van ‘n gebrek aan inligting of van foute in die artikel. Die modelle is in vier kategorieë vir die analise verdeel. Op grond van die TVI het ons tussen frekwensie- of digtheidsafhanklike oordrag onderskei, en as ‘n tweede kriterium het ons die modelle op die seksuele aktiwiteit van die vigs-groep onderskei. Daarna is die modelle binne en tussen die klasse vergelyk in terme van hul TVIs. Daar is gewys dat frekwensie-afhanklike oordrag gebruik moet word vir groter bevolkings. Dit is die geval van MIV, waar die siekte hoofsaaklik versprei word deur seksuele kontak. Die insluiting van die vigs-pasiënte in die groep van aansteeklike individue is belangrik vir die akkuraatheid van die oordrag-dinamika van MIV. Meer as helfte van die uitgesoekte studies aanvaar dat vigs-pasiënte te siek is om betrokke te raak by riskante seksuele gedrag. Ons sien dat die insluiting van vigs-pasiënte in die groep van aansteeklike individue ‘n beduidende uitwerking op die TVI het wanneer die waarde van die waarskynlikheid van oordrag van ‘n individu met vigs groter is as dié van die ander klasse. Die analise toon dat die TVI kan wissel afhangende van die parameter waardes en die aannames wat gemaak is. Baie modelle voeg verskeie parameter waardes bymekaar vir die waarskynlikheid van oordrag. Wanneer die parameter waardes nie apart gewys word nie, is dit moeilik om die werking van die TVI te verstaan, want daar is onbekende faktore wat ‘n invloed op die TVI het. Die verbetering van die akkuraatheid van die TVI kan ons help om die faktore wat dit beïnvloed beter te verstaan, en dit kan ook help om meer realistiese resultate te produseer. Om die waarskynlikheid van oordrag as ‘n funksie van die viruslading te skryf kan help om die TVI meer akkuraat te maak en dit kan ook help om die effek wat virale dinamika op die bevolkingsoordrag-dinamika het, beter te verstaan.

Full textBackground: Tuberculosis (TB) control depends on interrupting transmission through rapid diagnosis and treatment initiation of infectious TB cases. With increasing delay in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary TB, disease is likely to progress, leading to progressive lung cavitation and increased sputum bacillary load, likely increasing TB transmission. This study investigated the effect of treatment delay in adult TB patients on the risk of TB infection and disease in child household contacts. Methodology: Secondary analysis was performed using data from a community-based household contact investigation study. Cross-sectional analysis was conducted of baseline data collected at enrolment. Children aged three months to fifteen years with documented household exposure to an adult with TB were enrolled between December 2007 and June 2012. These children were screened for TB infection (Mantoux tuberculin skin test [TST] and two interferon-gamma release assays [IGRA]) and disease. Total treatment delay was measured in adult TB source cases as the time from cough onset until treatment initiation, with those reporting no cough serving as the reference category. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the effect of total treatment delay in adults on the risk of TB infection in child household contacts, with TB disease evaluated as a secondary endpoint. Results In total 671 children were enrolled as household contacts of 290 adult TB source cases. In multivariate analysis, the odds of TST positivity increased with cough duration ≥4 weeks prior to TB treatment initiation (odds ratio (OR) = 1.77 [95% CI 1.02-3.09] for cough <4 weeks; OR = 2.74 [95% confidence interval ( CI ) = 1.39-5.40] for cough 4-12 weeks; OR = 2.39 [95% CI = 1.19-4.82] for cough >12 weeks, compared to non-coughing adult TB patients), child's age ≥5 years (OR = 4.51, [95% CI = 2.60-7.83]), sharing the same bedroom (OR = 2.17, [95% CI = 1.43-3.31]), more than one household TB contact (OR = 2.70, [95% CI = 1.35- 2 5.42]) and with household tobacco smoke exposure (OR = 2.10, [95% CI = 1.22-3.61]). Adult TB source case HIV status did not modify the association between cough duration and risk of infection in children. Results of analyses of TB infection indicated by IGRA positivity were consistent with TST results. Prevalent TB disease in child contacts was associated with source case sputum smear and culture positivity, additional household TB contacts and decreasing age of the child. Conclusions: Delays of longer than four weeks from cough onset until TB treatment initiation were associated with increased risk of TB infection in child household contacts. These findings confirm the importance of reducing delays in TB diagnosis and treatment in adults to reduce transmission, ideally to less than four weeks. Although HIV co -infected TB patients are often considered less infectious, delayed treatment initiation remained associated with TB transmission, even amongst HIV co-infected adults with TB. In addition to the traditional risk factors for developing TB disease after infection, source case exposure factors also increased the risk of exposed children developing TB disease.

Full textSeveral studies carried out in Brazil have shown a serum-prevalence rate of HIV / HTLV (Human Immunodeficiency - virus / Human T-Lymphotropic virus) co-infection of 0.58% to 11.4% among specific groups of individuals. Based on previous data, the State of Cearà is considered an area of low HTLV prevalence in the northeastern Brasil. This study evaluated the clinical and epidemiological aspects of the HIV / HTLV co-infection in a reference hospital for the treatment of HIV infected patients in CearÃ. A descriptive, cross sectional study was performed, in the period of May of 2001 to October of 2002. Blood samples were randomly collected from 420 HIV-positive patients, through Elisa and Western Blot tests, that later were serologically tested for HTLV-I/II in the Hematological Center of Cearà - HEMOCE. Interviews were done in 337 patients and 165 files were searched for socio-economic, risk factors for HTLV, sexual practice and clinical aspects. The results confirmed a general seroprevalence value of 0.95%, distributed as 0.23% of HIV-HTLV-I and 0.47% of HIV-HTLV-II, followed by one (0.23%) sample of undetermined serology. Concomitant infection was not evidenced by the viruses HTLV-I and HTLV-II. The population studied was more frequently 30 to 39 years old, had predominantly lower income (67.6%) and educational (44.8%) levels and were heterosexual mainly (67,8%). In 119 patients evaluated, 105 (88.2%) complained of HIV-related diseases, 14 (11.8%) were asymptomatic and 111 (93.3%) were diagnosed with AIDS. An elevated percentage was breast fed (38.5%), few had had tattoos (12.2%), and also did receive blood products (15,9%). The scarce use of intravenous drugs (4.8%), the few numbers of black individuals (5.6%) and higher numbers of heterosexuals (67.8%), were pointed as possible reasons for the low HTLV prevalence found in this research.
