    Abstract We assessed the diagnostic potential of erythroferrone as a biomarker for iron homeostasis comparing iron deficiency cases with anaemia of inflammation and controls. The dysregulation of the hepcidin axis was observed by Latour et al. in a mouse model of malarial anaemia induced by prolonged Plasmodium infection leading to increased erythroferrone concentrations. In line with that, we found significantly higher erythroferrone levels in cases with malaria and anaemia in an African population, compared to asymptomatic controls. Therefore, our findings extend the previous ones of the mouse model, suggesting also a dysregulation of the hepcidin axis in humans, which should be further corroborated in prospective studies and may lay the basis for the development of improved treatment strategies according to ERFE concentrations in such patients.

    Abstract Background: Despite antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLHIV) are at increased risk for non-AIDS-defining events (nADEs), including cardiovascular events, non-AIDS malignances, hepatic disease, and bacterial pneumonia.
    Setting: This systematic review seeks to answer the question: are PLHIV who spontaneously control HIV-1 subject to an increased risk of various nADEs relative to noncontrolling PLHIV on ART and people without HIV?
    Methods: Databases were searched on June 9, 2021 with a search syntax focused on the elements "HIV," "spontaneous control," and "clinical outcomes": Embase.com (includes Embase and Medline), Medline Ovid (includes PubMed), Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Included were studies reporting non-AIDS events in spontaneous controllers. Excluded were case reports, conference papers, editorials, and reviews.
    Results: Of 1134 identified records, 34 were assessed for full-text and 12 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis: 5 cohorts, 2 cross-sectional prevalence studies, 4 cross-sectional imaging studies, and one case series. Four of 5 cohort studies showed that spontaneous controllers have a similar risk to develop nADEs compared with PLHIV on suppressive ART, specifically cardiovascular events, non-AIDS malignancies, hepatic disease, and bacterial pneumonia. Cross-sectional imaging studies showed a higher presence of subclinical cardiovascular disease in spontaneous controllers, than in people without HIV.
    Conclusion: Individuals with spontaneous control of HIV-1 do not seem to be at a greater risk to develop different nADEs compared with PLHIV on suppressive ART. More data are needed, because the present conclusions are based on a limited number of studies that show large heterogeneity among them.

    Abstract There is ongoing debate as to whether abacavir (ABC) increases the risk for cardiovascular disease(CVD) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) and the mechanisms underlying this possible association. We recently showed that the use of an ABC-containing regimen was independently associated with increased thrombin generation (TG). In the present study, we aim to explore these findings further, by studying the mechanistical processes that underly the global thrombin generation test via thrombin dynamics analysis. Thrombin dynamics analysis can pinpoint the cause of increased thrombin generation associated with ABC-use either to the procoagulant prothrombin conversion pathway or the anticoagulant thrombin inactivation pathway. In this cross-sectional study, 208 virally suppressed PLHIV were included, of whom 94 were on a ABC-containing regimen, 92 on a tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing regimen, and the remainder on other regimens. We used Calibrated Automated Thrombinography to measure thrombin generation and perform thrombin dynamics analysis. The total amount of prothrombin conversion, as well as the maximum rate of prothrombin conversion were significantly increased in PLHIV on an ABC containing regimen compared to other treatment regimens. The levels of pro- and anticoagulant factors were comparable, indicating that the ABC-induced changes affect the kinetics of prothrombin conversion rather than procoagulant factor levels. Moreover, Von Willebrand Factor (VWF), active VWF and VWF pro-peptide levels were significantly higher in PLHIV than controls without HIV. However, they did not differ between ABC and non-ABC treated participants.

    Abstract Background: Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia forms a reservoir for the transmission of malaria disease in West Africa. Certain haemoglobin variants are known to protect against severe malaria infection. However, data on the potential roles of haemoglobin variants and nongenetic factors in asymptomatic malaria infection is scarce and controversial. Therefore, this study investigated the associations of iron homeostasis, inflammation, nutrition, and haemoglobin mutations with parasitaemia in an asymptomatic cohort from a P. falciparum-endemic region during the high transmission season.
    Methods: A sub-study population of 688 asymptomatic individuals (predominantly children and adolescents under 15 years, n = 516) from rural Burkina Faso previously recruited by the NOVAC trial (NCT03176719) between June and October 2017 was analysed. Parasitaemia was quantified with conventional haemocytometry. The haemoglobin genotype was determined by reverse hybridization assays targeting a selection of 21 HBA and 22 HBB mutations. Demographics, inflammatory markers (interleukins 6 and 10, hepcidin), nutritional status (mid upper-arm circumference and body mass index), and anaemia (total haemoglobin, ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor) were assessed as potential predictors through logistic regression.
    Results: Malaria parasites were detected in 56% of subjects. Parasitaemia was associated most strongly with malnutrition. The effect size increased with malnutrition severity (OR = 6.26, CI
    Conclusions: According to these findings, asymptomatic parasitaemia is attenuated by haemoglobin S, but not by any of the other detected genotypes. Aside from evidence for slight iron imbalance, overall undernutrition was found to predict parasitaemia; thus, further investigations are required to elucidate causality and inform strategies for interventions.

    Abstract Background: Genital tract infections pose a public health concern. In many low-middle-income countries, symptom-based algorithms guide treatment decisions. Advantages notwithstanding, this strategy has important limitations. We aimed to determine the infections causing lower genital tract symptoms in women, evaluated the Kenyan syndromic treatment algorithm for vaginal discharge, and proposed an improved algorithm.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study included symptomatic non-pregnant adult women presenting with lower genital tract symptoms at seven outpatient health facilities in Nairobi. Clinical, socio-demographic information and vaginal swabs microbiological tests were obtained. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to find predictive factors for the genital infections and used to develop an alternative vaginal discharge treatment algorithm (using 60% of the dataset). The other 40% of data was used to assess the performance of each algorithm compared to laboratory diagnosis.
    Results: Of 813 women, 66% had an infection (vulvovaginal candidiasis 40%, bacterial vaginosis 17%, Neisseria gonorrhoea 14%, multiple infections 23%); 56% of women reported ≥ 3 lower genital tract symptoms episodes in the preceding 12 months. Vulvovaginal itch predicted vulvovaginal candidiasis (odds ratio (OR) 2.20, 95% CI 1.40-3.46); foul-smelling vaginal discharge predicted bacterial vaginosis (OR 3.63, 95% CI 2.17-6.07), and sexually transmitted infection (Neisseria gonorrhoea, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium) (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.06-2.55). Additionally, lower abdominal pain (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.07-2.79) predicted sexually transmitted infection. Inappropriate treatment was 117% and 75% by the current and alternative algorithms respectively. Treatment specificity for bacterial vaginosis/Trichomonas vaginalis was 27% and 82% by the current and alternative algorithms, respectively. Performance by other parameters was poor to moderate and comparable between the two algorithms.
    Conclusion: Single and multiple genital infections are common among women presenting with lower genital tract symptoms at outpatient clinics in Nairobi. The conventional vaginal discharge treatment algorithm performed poorly, while the alternative algorithm achieved only modest improvement. For optimal care of vaginal discharge syndrome, we recommend the inclusion of point-of-care diagnostics in the flowcharts.

    Abstract Background: The immunopathogenesis of dengue virus (DENV) infection remains incompletely understood. To increase our understanding of inflammatory response in non-severe dengue, we assessed longitudinal changes in the inflammatory proteome in patients with an acute DENV infection.
    Methods: Using a multiplex proximity extension assay (PEA), we measured relative levels of 368 inflammatory markers in plasma samples from hospitalized patients with non-severe DENV infection in the acute (n = 43) and convalescence (n = 35) phase of the infection and samples of healthy controls (n = 10).
    Results: We identified 203 upregulated and 39 downregulated proteins in acute versus convalescent plasma samples. The upregulated proteins had a strong representation of interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible effector proteins, cytokines (e.g. IL-10, IL-33) and cytokine receptors, chemokines, pro-apoptotic proteins (e.g. granzymes) and endothelial markers. A number of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) have not been reported in previous studies. Functional network analysis highlighted a central role for IFNγ, IL-10, IL-33 and chemokines. We identified different novel associations between inflammatory proteins and circulating concentrations of the endothelial glycocalyx disruption surrogate marker syndecan-1. Conclusion: This unbiased proteome analysis provides a comprehensive insight in the inflammatory response in DENV infection and its association with glycocalyx disruption.

    Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV, who are at higher risk than the general population. We assessed, in a large cohort of people living with HIV, which cardiovascular, HIV-specific, and lipoproteomic markers were associated with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque presence. We also studied guideline adherence on lipid-lowering medication in individuals with high and very high risk for cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results In 1814 individuals with a median (interquartile range) age of 53 (44-60) years, we found a carotid plaque in 909 (50.1%) and a median (interquartile range) intima-media thickness of 0.66 (0.57-0.76) mm. Ultrasonography was used for the assessment of cIMT and plaque presence. Univariable and multivariable regression models were used for associations with cIMT and presence of plaques. Age, Black race, body mass index, type 2 diabetes, and smoking (pack years) were all positively associated with higher cIMT. Levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, specifically medium and large high-density lipoprotein subclasses, were negatively associated with higher cIMT. Only age and prior myocardial infarction were positively related to the presence of a carotid plaque. Lipid-lowering treatment was prescribed in one-third of people living with HIV, who are at high and very high risk for cardiovascular disease. Conclusions Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were significantly associated with higher cIMT but not with carotid plaques, except for age. HIV-specific factors were not associated with both ultrasound measurements. Future studies are needed to elucidate which factors contribute to plaque formation. Improvement of guideline adherence on prescription of lipid-lowering treatment in high- and very high-risk patients for cardiovascular disease is recommended.

    Abstract In people living with HIV (PLHIV), integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are part of the first-line combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), while non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimens are alternatives. Distinct cART regimens may variably influence the risk for non-AIDS comorbidities. We aimed to compare the metabolome and lipidome of INSTI and NNRTI-based regimens. The 2000HIV study includes asymptomatic PLHIV (n = 1646) on long-term cART, separated into a discovery cohort with 730 INSTI and 617 NNRTI users, and a validation cohort encompassing 209 INSTI and 90 NNRTI users. Baseline plasma samples from INSTI and NNRTI users were compared using mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomic (n = 500) analysis. Perturbed metabolic pathways were identified using MetaboAnalyst software. Subsequently, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used for targeted lipoprotein and lipid (n = 141) analysis. Metabolome homogeneity was observed between the different types of INSTI and NNRTI. In contrast, higher and lower levels of 59 and 45 metabolites, respectively, were found in the INSTI group compared to NNRTI users, of which 77.9% (81/104) had consistent directionality in the validation cohort. Annotated metabolites belonged mainly to 'lipid and lipid-like molecules', 'organic acids and derivatives' and 'organoheterocyclic compounds'. In pathway analysis, perturbed 'vitamin B1 (thiamin) metabolism', 'de novo fatty acid biosynthesis', 'bile acid biosynthesis' and 'pentose phosphate pathway' were detected, among others. Lipoprotein and lipid levels in NNRTIs were heterogeneous and could not be compared as a group. INSTIs compared to individual NNRTI types showed that HDL cholesterol was lower in INSTIs compared to nevirapine but higher in INSTIs compared to doravirine. In addition, LDL size was lower in INSTIs and nevirapine compared to doravirine. NNRTIs show more heterogeneous cardiometabolic effects than INSTIs, which hampers the comparison between these two classes of drugs. Targeted lipoproteomic and lipid NMR spectroscopy showed that INSTI use was associated with a more unfavorable lipid profile compared to nevirapine, which was shifted to a more favorable profile for INSTI when substituting nevirapine for doravirine, with evidently higher fold changes. The cardiovascular disease risk profile seems more favorable in INSTIs compared to NNRTIs in untargeted metabolomic analysis using mass-spectrometry.

    Abstract Background: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are exposed to chronic immune dysregulation, even when virus replication is suppressed by antiretroviral therapy (ART). Given the emerging role of the gut microbiome in immunity, we hypothesized that the gut microbiome may be related to the cytokine production capacity of PLHIV.
    Methods: To test this hypothesis, we collected metagenomic data from 143 ART-treated PLHIV and assessed the
    Results: Compared with 190 age- and sex-matched controls and a second independent control cohort, PLHIV showed microbial dysbiosis that was correlated with viral reservoir levels (CD4
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that modulating the gut microbiome may be a strategy to modulate immune response in PLHIV.

    Abstract Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are rising rapidly in urbanizing populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Assessment of inflammatory and metabolic characteristics of a urbanizing African population and the comparison with populations outside Africa could provide insight in the pathophysiology of the rapidly increasing epidemic of NCDs, including the role of environmental and dietary changes. Using a proteomic plasma profiling approach comprising 92 inflammation-related molecules, we examined differences in the inflammatory proteome in healthy Tanzanian and healthy Dutch adults. We show that healthy Tanzanians display a pro-inflammatory phenotype compared to Dutch subjects, with enhanced activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway and higher concentrations of different metabolic regulators such as 4E-BP1 and fibroblast growth factor 21.
