Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in patients also living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and compares these characteristics to those in SLE patients without HIV.
- Researchers analyzed data from 13 SLE patients with HIV, noting a median diagnosis age of 43, with 77% being women, and identifying common symptoms such as joint pain and skin issues.
- The findings reveal that SLE patients with HIV exhibit more kidney problems and autoimmune blood issues compared to those without HIV, highlighting a rare but significant relationship between these conditions.
Background: In French Guiana poverty is widespread and specialized care is lacking. We aimed to compare strokes between precarious and non-precarious patients within French Guiana and to compare the epidemiology of ischemic strokes and their outcomes between French Guiana and mainland France.
Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort examined the influence of social inequalities on stroke characteristics.
Objectives: Disseminated histoplasmosis is a major killer of HIV-infected persons in Latin America. Antigen detection, fungal culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction are often not available, but cytology and histology are present in most hospitals and may offer a diagnostic alternative. In this study, we review 34 years of clinical experience to describe the roles of cytology and histology in diagnosing disseminated histoplasmosis.

It is proteiform and often hard to diagnose in the absence of diagnostic tests. We aimed to describe disseminated histoplasmosis with lymphadenopathies in French Guiana and to compare survival and severity of those patients to patients without lymphadenopathies.
