This finally results in the host's incapacity to deal with opportunistic infections and the immune surveillance of tumors, a clinical status known as the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). \u003cbr\u003e The book \u003cem\u003eAIDS Pathogenesis\u003c\/em\u003e provides the reader with a complete overview of the clinical course of HIV-1 infection. It describes the clinical aspects of primary infection, the different clinical outcomes of HIV-1 infection, and strategies for anti-viral treatment. In addition, more fundamental aspects of HIV-1 infection are reviewed. These include the biology of the virus and the novel insights in AIDS pathogenesis. Not only is the significance of an HIV-specific cellular and humoral immune response discussed, but also the possible incapacity of the adult human host to deal with T-cell destruction. Finally, the book discusses the currently used laboratory markers that allow for monitoring of the clinical course of infection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282402762903,"sku":"9789048154074","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048154074.webp?v=1769302046","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/aids-pathogenesis-9789048154074","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
