Article Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is growing medical concern worldwide. There are many types of glomerulonephritis which are associated with HIV infection. We report a case of a 53-year-old Korean man with an HIV infection, who was developed nephritic range proteinuria and purpura with elevated IgA level rasing a possibility of Henoch-Schölein Purpura (H-S purpura). However, renal biopsy showed "lupus-like feature" glomerulonephritis without clinical or serologic evidence of systemic lupus erythematosus. Although baseline renal function was maintained without further need for maintenance dialysis following anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and steroid, patient died from uncontrolled gastrointestinal bleeding.

Division of Cancer Sciences, School of Medical Sciences, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK.
The incidence of oral cavity cancers in the UK is rising. Asian/Asian British ethnic groups and socioeconomically deprived groups are at highest risk with some evidence of worse disease outcomes in South Asian individuals receiving radiotherapy. This variation in incidence and outcomes underscores the urgent need for action.

Despite an effective combination of antiretroviral therapy, HIV persists as a lifelong infection and global health threat. The human host equips restriction factors and interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes that target every step of the viral life cycle. However, HIV-1 has evolved a coordinated immune evasion strategy using a limited set of accessory proteins with distinct antagonistic functions.

Public Health Ontario, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Objectives: Canadian guidelines recommend HIV testing for individuals being evaluated for syphilis. Our objective was to examine three aspects of HIV testing (ie, if an HIV test occurred, the timing of the HIV test in relation to the syphilis test and the proportion with a positive HIV test result) among syphilis tests between 2017 and 2022 from individuals with no evidence of a previous HIV diagnosis.
Design And Setting: This study is a retrospective analysis of comprehensive laboratory testing data from Ontario's provincial public health laboratory.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit, Gastroenterology Department, Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR-SantPau), Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Objective: Chlamydia trachomatis is a prevalent cause of infectious proctitis, often misdiagnosed as cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to describe the main clinical symptoms, together with endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis proctitis in the general population.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a single institution, identifying all cases of proctitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, detected by real-time PCR in rectal biopsy or anal smear, with endoscopic assessment.

Unit of Infectious Diseases, University of Brescia and Spedali Civili Hospital, Brescia, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher risk of herpes zoster (HZ) reactivation and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) compared to general population. Our study aims to evaluate prevalence of HZ reactivation and PHN after vaccination with recombinant vaccine (RZV) in a population living with HIV, and to identify risk factors associated with recurrence.
Methods: We conducted an observational study, enrolling all PLWH ≥18 years old vaccinated with RZV from January 2022 to December 2023.
