To investigate the nature of recent HIV outbreaks among injecting drug users (IDUs) near the Vietnam-China border, we genetically analyzed 24 HIV-positive blood specimens from 2 northern provinces of Vietnam (Lang Son and quang Ninh) adjacent to the China border, where HIV outbreaks among IDUs were first detected in late 1996. Genetic subtyping based on gag (p17) and env (C2/V3) sequences revealed that CRF01_AE is a principal strain circulating throughout Vietnam, including the provinces near the China border. The majority of CRF01_AE sequences among IDUs in Quang Ninh and Lang Son showed significant clustering with those found in nearby Pingxiang City of China's Guangxi Province, sharing a unique valine substitution 12 amino acids downstream of the V3 loop. This particular subtype E variant, uniquely found among IDUs in northern Vietnam and southeastern China, is designated E(v). The genetic diversity of CRF01_AE distributed in Quang Ninh (1.5 +/- 0.6%) and Pingxiang City (1.9 +/- 1.2%) was remarkably low, indicating the emerging nature of HIV spread in these areas. It is also noted that the genetic diversity of CRF01_AE among IDUs was consistently lower than that in persons infected sexually, suggesting that fewer closely related CRF01_AE variants were introduced into IDUs and, conversely, that multiple strains of CRF01_AE had been introduced via the sexual route. The data in the present study provide additional evidence that HIV outbreaks among IDUs in northern Vietnam were caused by the recent introduction of a highly homogeneous CRF01_AE variant (E(v)) closely related to that prevailing in nearby southern China. 相似文献

HIV-1 isolates from 200 untreated patients recruited in 2001 and 2002 in the south part of Vietnam and particularly in Ho Chi Minh City were sequenced in the RT, protease, and env genes. Out of 200 isolates 198 belonged to CRF01_AE while only one subtype B and one intersubtype (B-CRF01_AE) recombinant could be observed. Of the isolates 6.5% had major resistance mutations to antiretroviral drugs. 相似文献

From 1992-1998, Burkholderia pseudomallei was isolated from only 9 (0.25%) of 3653 cultures of blood from febrile patients admitted to the Centre for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City, an infectious disease referral center for southern Vietnam. Soil was sampled from 407 sites in 147 rice fields along the 5 major roads radiating from Ho Chi Minh City. B. pseudomallei was isolated from 73 sites (18%) in 39 rice fields (27%), but only 15 (21%) of the 71 isolates from 9 (6%) of 147 fields were the virulent l-arabinose (ara)-negative biotype. All except 1 of the fields with the ara-negative biotype were close to the homes of the patients with melioidosis. The low incidence of melioidosis in the provinces around Ho Chi Minh City may be explained by the restricted distribution of ara-negative B. pseudomallei in the soil in this area. 相似文献

HIV-1 outbreaks in Guangxi Province, southern China were initiated from two separate border cities in 1996 and 1997. Drug users in Pingxiang City, which borders Vietnam, were infected with CRF01_AE HIV-1, and drug users in Baise City, which borders Yunan Province, were infected with a novel B/C recombinant HIV-1. Since 1997, HIV-1 has been rapidly spreading in Guangxi, including its capital city Nanning. Survey data indicated that HIV-1 prevalence among IDUs in new outbreak regions increased 8 to 42% within 1 year. The B/C recombinants obtained from five separate regions in Guangxi, which span a 4-year time frame, were remarkable for their low intersubject env V3 diversity, less than 0.2%. Similarly, the CRF01_AE from IDUs over a 3-year time frame had low intersubject env V3 diversity of less than 1.6%. Different patterns of sequence variations in the V3 and V4 regions were observed for the B/C recombinant and the CRF01_AE HIV1. The rapid spreading of homogeneous HIV-1 strains in Guangxi may have important implications for HIV transmission as well as vaccine development and evaluation. 相似文献

To investigate the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 among intravenous drug users (IDUs) in Hanoi we collected 17 samples from individuals living in 12 locations in and around Hanoi. The HIV-1 env V3 and gag p17 regions were directly sequenced from the proviral PBMC population. The majority of the IDUs were infected with HIV-1 CRF01_AE and one individual carried a p17/V3 CRF01/subtype C recombinant. The CRF01 viruses found among these individuals did not seem to be directly epidemiologically linked to each other. The sequences were, however, related to previously reported CRF01 sequences from Vietnam and China. Thus, IDUs in Hanoi seem to have derived their infections in Vietnam, but not from the same source. The discovery of the CRF01/C recombinant shows that new viral forms easily can be generated in IDU transmission chains. 相似文献

Sequence analysis of env C2/V3, gag p17/p24, and pol protease regions of 25 HIV type 1 isolates from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Caumont A Lan NT Uyen NT Hung PV Schvoerer E Urriza MS Roques P Schrive MH Lien TT Lafon ME Dormont D Barre-Sinoussi F Fleury HJ 《AIDS research and human retroviruses》2001,17(13):1285-1291
Env C2/V3, gag p17/p24, pol protease, and RT regions of HIV-1 isolates recently obtained from 25 HIV-1 seropositive individuals from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) were studied, and genes subtypes were determined by DNA sequence analyses. Twenty-three isolates out of 25 were identified as belonging to subtype E, now recognized as circulating recombinant form 1 (CRF01_AE). The motif at the top of the V3 loop (generally GPGQ) was then preceded by an isoleucine or a methionine (M) residue; the M residue might be a local signature of Vietnamese E isolates compared to Thai E viruses. Two isolates (8%) were shown to be intersubtype recombinants: one E/B and one CRF02_AG(IBNG)/D. The polymorphism of pol protease was considered only for CRF01_AE isolates and is clearly different from that recorded for B viruses with substitutions at positions 13, 35, 36, 41, 69, and 89. 相似文献

To our knowledge, this is the first report of penicilliosis marneffei among patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Vietnam. The 4 patients we studied were from Ho Chi Minh City and the provinces of Tay Ninh, Dong Nai, and Kon Tum. In 2 patients, the infections were fatal. 相似文献

New independent states of the former Soviet Union are facing a rapidly growing epidemic of HIV-1 among injecting drug users (IDUs). This epidemic is caused by three HIV-1 populations, one belonging to HIV-1 subtype A (IDU-A), another to subtype B (IDU-B), and the third being a recombinant of the IDU-A and IDU-B viruses (IDU-A/B, gagA/envB). Each of these populations is characterized by a high level of genetic homogeneity. We identified a unique synonymous nucleotide substitution in the first isoleucine codon at the IHIGPGR motif (ATT), which was observed in the env subtype B V3 sequences derived from IDUs in Russia and the Ukraine. This substitution was observed in none of 179 sequences obtained from IDUs in western Europe, northern America, and Asia. Molecular epidemiological analysis of HIV-1 strains based on this sequence pattern could be useful for tracing the origin and spread of the IDU-B viruses to other countries and risk groups. 相似文献

Two HIV-1 strains, CRF01_AE and subtype B', were reported in Thailand during the early years of the epidemic. Recently, an intersubtype recombination of HIV-1 strain was found in Thailand. Eight-hundred and twenty-eight samples collected during years 1995-2004 from high-risk groups in Bangkok, northern, northeastern, and southern region of Thailand were studied. HIV-1 env nucleotide sequences were used for phylogenetic analysis of the circulating HIV-1 strain. By single HIV-1 region (env) genotyping, CRFO1_AE was found in 97.3% and HIV-1 subtype B was found in 2.7%. A predominance of CRF01_AE was found in all geographic regions. Parallel analysis of the HIV-1 gag and env genes demonstrated that 2.1% and 4.0% of recombinant HIV-1 strains were found using p17 and p24 region sequences, respectively. The recombinant gag gene was also found in one southern isolate. Phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1 isolated from 20 provinces in 2002 suggested the northern and northeastern isolates were more related than the southern isolates which had the lowest genetic diversity of 0.13. The GPGQ V3 loop tip was also present in isolates from all regions. The molecular epidemiological data from this study may be useful for surveillance design as well as targeting prevention efforts. It also provides information regarding new antigenic regions of circulating strains responsible for the HIV-1 epidemic in Thailand. 相似文献

A recent occurrence of HIV-1 seropositivity among a group of injecting drug users (IDUs) in Darjeeling, a hilly district in northern West Bengal, revealed overall 11.8% HIV seroprevalence. Our study based on env (C2-V3), gag (p24-p7), and tat (exon-1) genomic regions of HIV-1 detected among this population showed that Darjeeling IDU sequences belonged to subtype C. Interestingly, the IDU sequences from Darjeeling were again found to be closer to the C strains from Manipur, a northeastern state in India, which is linked to the Golden Triangle via the Manipur-Myanmar border, rather than the IDU C sequences from Nepal, a neighboring country of India. The outgroup reference strains from different sites of IDU-driven epidemics in the world like Russia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Spain belonged to the nonsubtype C group and formed separate clusters from the subtype C cluster in our analysis. These results indicate a rapid spread of HIV-1 by possible drug trafficking along international boundaries, which might also help in the invasion of HIV-1 among IDUs of Darjeeling through the Manipur-Myanmar border of India. 相似文献

Genetic characterization of incident HIV type 1 subtype E and B strains from a prospective cohort of injecting drug users in Bangkok, Thailand 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We obtained specimens from 128 HIV-1 seroconverters identified from 1995 through 1998 in a prospective cohort study of 1,209 HIV-negative injecting drug users (IDUs) in Bangkok, Thailand. Epidemiologic data indicated that parenteral transmission accounted for nearly all infections. HIV-1 DNA from the C2-V4 env region was sequenced, and phylogenetic analyses determined that 102 (79.7%) of the specimens were subtype E and 26 (20.3%) subtype B strains. All subtype B strains clustered with strains often referred to in previous studies as Thai B or B'. The interstrain nucleotide distance (C2-V4) within subtype E strains was low (mean, 6.8%), and pairwise comparisons with a prototype subtype E strain, CM244, showed limited divergence (mean, 5.6%). The subtype B stains showed greater interstrain divergence (mean, 9.2%) and were significantly divergent from the prototype B strain HIV-MN (mean, 13.0%; p < 0.0001). The subtype E strains had significantly lower mean V3 loop charge than did subtype B strains (p = 0.017) and, on the basis of analysis of amino acid sequences, were predicted to be predominantly (91%) non-syncytium-inducing (NSI), chemokine coreceptor CCR5-using (CCR5+) viruses. The subtype B strains had a higher mean V3 loop charge, and a smaller proportion (23%) were predicted to be NSI/CCR5+ viruses. This study demonstrates that most incident HIV1 infections among Bangkok IDUs are due to subtype E viruses, with a narrow spectrum of genetic diversity. The characterization of incident HIV-1 strains from 1995 to 1998 will provide important baseline information for comparison with any breakthrough infections that occur among IDUs in Bangkok who are participating in an HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trial initiated in 1999. 相似文献

In 1995, 53 blood samples from Muslim patients with AIDS, or who were thought to have AIDS, were collected in the main hospitals of Adamaoua Province, in the northern part of Cameroon. The variable env C2V3 region of HIV-1 was amplified by nested PCR and phylogenetically analyzed. The results indicated that of 15 amplified samples, 1 belonged to HIV-1 group O, 1 to HIV-1 subtype D, 1 to subtype G, 2 to subtype H, and 10 to subtype A. Furthermore, the northern Cameroonian subtype A could be divided into at least two subclusters as shown by the env tree as well as by two remarkably conserved hexameric amino acid sequences in the apex of V3 (GPGQAF in one subcluster and GPGQTF in the other). This distinction suggests that the HIV-1 subtype A circulating in northern Cameroon evolved from two main sources. More recently, three HIV-1 strains from Nigeria (IBNG) and Djibouti (DJ263 and DJ264), previously reported on the basis of their env C2V3 sequences as subtype A, were found to have a similar A/G mosaic structure alongside their full-length sequence and were tentatively designated as members of a new subtype called "IBNG." Interestingly, within the northern Cameroonian subtype A described, the isolates of the second subcluster clustered distinctly with these A/G mosaic strains, strongly suggesting that they may be members of the IBNG subtype. 相似文献

Diarrhea is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries, and the majority of infections are of viral etiology. We aimed to compare the etiological prevalence of the major enteric viruses in an urban and a rural setting in southern Vietnam. We simultaneously screened fecal specimens from 362 children in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Thap province that were hospitalized with acute diarrhea over a 1-month-long period for four viral gastrointestinal pathogens. Rotavirus was the most common pathogen identified, but there was a differential prevalence of rotavirus and norovirus between the urban and rural locations. Furthermore, rotavirus genotyping and phylogenetic analysis again differentiated the genotypes by the sampling location. Our data show a disproportional distribution of enteric viral pathogens in urban and rural locations, and we provide evidence of continual importation of new rotavirus strains into southern Vietnam and report the emergence of rotavirus genotype G12. 相似文献

Local, explosive outbreaks of HIV-1 infections among intravenous drug users (IDUs) caused by closely related variants have been reported in the Ukraine and Russia since 1996. Latvia experienced the start of a similar outbreak at the end of 1997 and already at the end of 1998 IDUs constituted approximately 50% of all known HIV cases (122 of 251). To investigate the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 variants circulating among Latvian IDUs the V3 domain of the env gene was directly sequenced from samples of seven recently infected IDUs. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the seven Latvian HIV-1 variants had closely related subtype A genotypes that shared recent ancestry with each other as well as with variants involved in outbreaks in the Ukraine and southern Russia. There exists a clear risk for continued spread of HIV-1 in Latvia because the number of IDUs is increasing and needle sharing is common. 相似文献

The Latvian HIV-1 outbreak among intravenous drug users (IDUs) in 1997-1998 involved subtype A1. To obtain a more complete picture of the Latvian HIV-1 epidemic, 315 HIV-1-infected patients diagnosed in 1990-2005 representing different transmission groups and geographic regions were phylogenetically characterized using env V3 and gag p17 sequences. Subtypes A1 and B infections were found in 76% and 22% of the patients, respectively. The subtype A1 sequences formed one large cluster, which also included sequences from other parts of the former Soviet Union (FSU), whereas most subtype B sequences formed three distinct clusters. We estimated that subtype A1 was introduced from FSU around 1997 and initially spread explosively among IDUs in Riga. A recent increase of heterosexually infected persons did not form a separate subepidemic, but had multiple interactions with the IDU epidemic. Subtype B was introduced before the collapse of the Soviet Union and primarily has spread among men who have sex with men. 相似文献

To define the medical characteristics of intravascular drug users in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, we examined 280 men, of whom 235 were infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), being treated in a rehabilitation center. The patients used mainly opium, often in shooting galleries (50%). The prevalence of oral candidiasis (58%) and zoster infection (20%) was high in HIV-seropositive patients, whereas oral hairy leukoplasia and Kaposi's sarcoma were absent. The prevalence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was 24%. More than 80% of the patients had infections with hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, cytomegalovirus, or human T cell lymphotropic virus type-1. The CD4+ cell counts correlated well with viral load. Only HIV-1 subtype E was detected in the 30 patients tested. A cohort study of HIV-infected subjects in this population seems feasible, and would permit introduction of anti-retroviral therapy The large number of HIV-seronegative subjects sharing the same at-risk practices as the HIV-infected subjects raises the possibility of natural protection in this population. 相似文献

Emergence of new forms of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 intersubtype recombinants in central Myanmar 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Motomura K Kusagawa S Kato K Nohtomi K Lwin HH Tun KM Thwe M Oo KY Lwin S Kyaw O Zaw M Nagai Y Takebe Y 《AIDS research and human retroviruses》2000,16(17):1831-1843
We have previously shown that HIV-1 env subtypes B' (a Thai-B cluster within subtype B) and E (CRF01_AE) are distributed in Yangon, the capital city of Myanmar. However, HIV strains from the rest of country have not yet been genetically characterized. In the present study, we determined env (C2/V3) and gag (p17) subtypes of 25 specimens from central Myanmar (Mandalay). Phylogenetic analyses identified 5 subtype C (20%), in addition to 10 CRF01_AE (40%) and 4 subtype B' (16%). Interestingly, the remaining six specimens (24%) showed discordance between gag and env subtypes; three gag subtype B'/env subtype C, one gag subtype B'/env subtype E, one gag subtype C/env subtype B', and one gag subtype C/env subtype E. These discordant specimens were found frequently among injecting drug users (4 of 12, 33%) and female commercial sex workers (2 of 8, 25%) engaging in high-risk behaviors. The recombinant nature of these HIV-1 strains was verified in three specimens, indicating the presence of new forms of HIV-1 intersubtype C/B' and C/B'/E recombinants with different recombination breakpoints. The data suggest that multiple subtypes of B', C, and CRF01_AE are cocirculating in central Myanmar, leading to the evolution of new forms of intersubtype recombinants among the risk populations exhibiting one of the highest HIV infection rates in the region. 相似文献

In Vietnam, the first three cases of Allo-BMT were successfully performed in 1995 at the Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital (BT-H) of Ho Chi Minh City. Donors were HLA fully matched siblings (HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1). The patients were a 26-year-old man with CML in chronic phase (CP), a 12-year-old woman with beta-thalassemia/Hb E and a 9-year-old girl with beta-thalassemia/Hb E. All patients were engrafted with the median time to recover ANC>0.5 x 10(9)/l, and platelet count >20 x 10(9)/l was 16 and 38 days. At 12 years after transplantation, all three patients are alive and well. Today, Vietnam has five SCT centers; in the north, there are three centers: 108 Military Hospital, Pediatric Institute and Blood transfusion and Hematology Institute; in the middle of Vietnam is Hue Hospital and in the south, the BT-H Hospital of Ho Chi Minh City. Until now, 65 patients have had SCT in Vietnam; among them, 52 patients had SCT at the BT-H Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. Because of no connection of data between different SCT centers, we present here only the results performed at the BT-H Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. With Allo-SCT we performed 19 cases with 3 procedures: BMT (4 cases), PBSC (6 cases) and cord blood transplantation (9 cases); patients were diagnosed with AML (n=7), ALL (n=1), CML (n=5) and beta-thalassemia (n=6). Following transplantation, 7 patients (36.84%) relapsed, 12 (63.16%) remained alive and overall survival times: 6.81+/-1.35 years, disease-free survival times: 6.69+/-1.4 years (range 0.5-12 years). With Auto-SCT: since November 1996, we have performed 33 cases of autologous PBSC transplantation consisting of without cryopreservation (24 cases) and with cryopreservation (9 cases); patients were diagnosed with AML in CR1 (n=21), ALL in CR1 (n=6), CML in CP (n=5) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in CR1 (n=1). The median age of the patients was 35 years (range 18-46). The median time to recover ANC >0.5 x 10(9)/l and platelet count >20 x 10(9)/l was 14 days (range 9-25 days) and 35 days (range 9-120 days). Following transplantation, 18 patients (54.50%) relapsed, 15 (45.45%) remained alive and overall survival times: 5.74+/-0.82 years and disease-free survival times: 5.48+/-0.92 years. There was no statistically significant difference of overall survival and disease-free survival between Allo-SCT and Auto-SCT procedures (P>0.05). These preliminary data suggest that HSCTs have been used as one of the standard treatments for hematological diseases and malignancies in Vietnam and that cord blood is an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for allogeneic transplantation in children. 相似文献
