Micronutrients and HIV Infection: Modern Nutrition
Editat de Henrik Friisen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 sep 2001
The book provides a comprehensive overview of micronutrients and HIV infection through a review of recently published human studies and intervention trials and other important epidemiology based literature. It begins by introducing the malnutrition-infection complex, Nutritionally Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and the role of oxidative stress in infection. Then the book covers the history, biochemistry, biological functions, and food sources of individual micronutrients, and reviews their roles in host defense and resistance to infections in general, and HIV in particular. Finally, the book discusses how this information can be applied for the benefit of individuals with HIV and countries where HIV is widespread and treatment unavailable.
Most of the world's 35 million people living with HIV are micronutrient deficient and have little access to HIV testing, counseling, and care. In addition to covering specific micronutrients, Micronutrients and HIV Infection presents a critical review of how existing micronutrient interventions can be promoted, expanded, and modified to reduce the magnitude and impact of the HIV pandemic.

Recenzii
"Nineteen authors from 6 countries, 11 of them with medical degrees, contributed the 11 chapters (citing 1009 references) of this very readable and well-edited book. …For a multi-authored volume, Micronutrients and HIV Infection has remarkably and refreshingly little redundancy. Moreover, some authors discuss the adverse consequences of excessive nutrient exposure on the course of HIV and opportunistic infections and the nutrient-nutrient interactions that can arise from nutrient interventions. The book also offers some priceless teaching illustrations."
