Abstract

AbstractBackground: Obstructive lung disease (OLD) is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Obstructive lung disease is the narrowing of bronchioles mainly due to excessive smooth muscle contraction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the Frequency of HIV in obstructive lung disease patients.Methodology: Samples were collected randomly, and study was completed in almost six months. 100 samples were taken with an informed consent taken from all the patients. EDTA and Clotted blood was collected for HIV ELISA and HIV screening.Results: In this study, 69% Males and 31%Females, 34% Smokers, 26% patients were Hypertensive, 10% patients were diabetic, 3% patients were diagnosed HIV positive by screening and ELISA.Conclusion: The frequency of HIV in obstructive lung disease patients in this research is not very high as compared to the previous researches, showing high frequency and relationship between HIV and obstructive lung disease patients. The reason behind low frequency is due to low sample size so by increasing the sample size we can get better understanding of frequency of HIV in obstructive lung disease patients. Another reason of insignificant results is low prevalence of HIV in Pakistan as compared to the previous researches in certain countries.

Highlights

Obstructive lung disease (OLD), including [5].The retrovirus genome consists of two single stranded copies of RNA molecule [6].chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseNon communicable pulmonary diseases are (COPD), and asthma is related with considerable morbidity and mortality in USA becoming increasingly common in HIV infected individuals [7]
The reason behind low frequency is due to low sample size so by increasing the sample size we can get better understanding of frequency of HIV in obstructive lung disease patients
Frequency of COPD and Asthma include 60 (60%) COPD patients and 40 (40%) patients were affected by asthma

Summary

Introduction

Obstructive lung disease (OLD), including [5].The retrovirus genome consists of two single stranded copies of RNA molecule [6].chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseNon communicable pulmonary diseases are (COPD), and asthma is related with considerable morbidity and mortality in USA becoming increasingly common in HIV infected individuals [7]. Risk factors for the development of OLD such as tobacco use and unhygienic infection have an increased expectancy of emphysema and abnormal computer status are prevalent in individuals at risk or infected with HIV [3, 4]. HIV belongs to lent tomography images of lung [8, 9]. They may have abnormal airway virus group of retrovirus family. A contributing factor to this increase could be that HIV-infected most commonly occurring strain globally patients in the advanced world have higher rates of smoking than the general population. The objective of this study is to evaluate the Frequency of HIV in obstructive lung disease patients
