A global overview of microsporidia infection in HIV/AIDS patients: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Key Points
Microsporidia significantly impact outcomes in HIV/AIDS patients and require improved screening methods for better management.
The meta-analysis reveals a critical connection between molecular surveillance and the control of microsporidia transmission.
Assessment of current diagnostic protocols supports the urgency in standardizing testing strategies for HIV/AIDS care.
Improving integration of microsporidia screening in HIV/AIDS treatment could lead to better health outcomes and lower infection rates.
Abstract
Microsporidia remain a significant opportunistic pathogen in HIV/AIDS patients. Strengthened molecular surveillance, standardized diagnostic protocols and integration of microsporidia screening into HIV/AIDS care are essential to improve outcomes and control transmission.
