Professor Chen Yaokai: Factors Affecting the Prognosis of HIV Patients with Talaromyces Marneffei Co-Infection Treated with Amphotericin B Deoxycholate
Talaromyces marneffei (TM) is a thermal dimorphic fungus that can cause systemic fungal infections in humans. This fungal infection is common in immunocompromised individuals and is one of the leading causes of death among HIV/AIDS patients in Southeast Asia and South Asia. At the 19th European AIDS Conference (EACS) held from October 18 to 21, 2023, Professor Chen Yaokai and his team from the Chongqing Public Health Medical Treatment Center presented a research report titled "Severe Anemia, Severe Leukopenia, and Severe Thrombocytopenia in HIV-Related Talaromyces Marneffei Infection Induced by Amphotericin B Deoxycholate: A Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study." This study contributes to global efforts to combat the HIV epidemic and co-infections by presenting findings from China. Below is a summary of their research.
