    Abstract: Before introducing combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), a higher prevalence of emphysema in people living with HIV (PLWH) than in the background population was reported. This systematic literature review aimed to investigate the prevalence of emphysema in PLWH and to compare the prevalence between PLWH and controls in the current cART era. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS), searching for “human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)” and “emphysema” from January 1, 2000 to March 10, 2021. Eligible studies were published after the introduction of cART, included PLWH, and reported the prevalence of emphysema. A total of 17 studies were included, and nine studies also included controls. The weighted average prevalence of emphysema in PLWH was 23% (95% CI: 16–30). In studies including both PLWH and controls the weighted average prevalence were 22% (95% CI: 10–33) and 9.7% (95% CI: 2.3–17), respectively ( p = 0.052). The prevalence of emphysema in never-smoking PLWH and controls was just reported in one study and was 18 and 4%, respectively ( p & lt; 0.01). Thirteen of the studies had a moderate risk of bias, mainly due to selection of patients. A tendency to higher prevalence of emphysema was found in PLWH in comparison to controls in the current cART era. However, in the included studies, the definition of emphysema varied largely. Thus, to have a clear overview of the prevalence, further studies with well-designed cohorts of PLWH and controls are warranted.

    Abstract: Increased risk of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been reported in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH). Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a marker of eosinophilic airway inflammation. We assessed FeNO levels in PLWH and matched uninfected controls and investigated whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status is independently associated with elevated FeNO. Methods FeNO was quantified by NIOX Vero and pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry in 432 PLWH from the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection Study and in 1618 age- and sex-matched uninfected controls from the Copenhagen General Population Study. Elevated FeNO was defined as ≥25 parts per billion. Associations between FeNO and HIV status were adjusted for known potential confounders. Results Mean age of PLWH was 50.7 (standard deviation [SD], 11.1) years and 97.4% received combination antiretroviral therapy. PLWH had higher FeNO than uninfected controls (median, 17.0 [interquartile range {IQR}, 11.0–26.0] vs 13.0 [IQR, 9.0–19.0]; P  & lt; .001). Also, PLWH had a higher prevalence of elevated FeNO than uninfected controls (27.5% vs 12.3%; P  & lt; .001). This association remained after adjusting for age, sex, height, smoking status, use of airway medication, blood eosinophils, and immunoglobulin E (adjusted OR [aOR], 3.56 [95% CI, 2.51–5.04] ; P  & lt; .001). Elevated FeNO was associated with self-reported asthma (aOR, 2.65 [95% CI, 1.66–4.24]; P  & lt; .001) but not with airflow limitation (aOR, 1.07 [95% CI, .71–1.62]; P = .745). Conclusions HIV status was independently associated with elevated FeNO, suggesting increased eosinophilic airway inflammation. The potential impact on chronic lung disease pathogenesis needs further investigation.

    Abstract: People with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) have an increased risk of chronic lung diseases and chronic inflammation. We aimed to investigate if inflammatory markers and monocyte activation are associated with faster lung function decline in PWH. Methods We included 655 PWH from the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) Study. Eligible participants were aged ≥25 years and had 2 spirometries separated by & gt;2 years. Inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]–1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor–α, and interferon-γ) were measured at baseline by Luminex, and soluble CD14 and soluble CD163 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Using linear mixed models, we investigated whether elevated cytokine levels were associated with faster lung function decline. Results The majority of PWH were males (85.2%) with undetectable viral replication (95.3%). We found a faster decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) in PWH with elevated IL-1β and IL-10, with an additional decline of 10.3 mL/year (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.1–18.6; P = .014) and 10.0 mL/year (95% CI, 1.8–18.2; P = .017), respectively. We found no interaction between smoking and IL-1β or IL-10 on FEV1 decline. Conclusions Elevated IL-1β and IL-10 were independently associated with faster lung function decline in PWH, suggesting that dysregulated systemic inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic lung diseases.

    Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with an increased risk of chronic pulmonary diseases. We compared cytokine concentrations (interleukin 6 [IL-6], interleukin 1β, 2, 4, 10, and 17A, tumor necrosis factor α, interferon γ, soluble CD14 [sCD14] and soluble CD163 [sCD163]) in people with HIV (PWH) and uninfected controls and investigated whether elevated cytokine concentrations were independently associated with lung function indices in PWH. Methods We performed spirometry and measured cytokine concentrations by Luminex immunoassays or enzyme-linked immunoassay in 951 PWH and 79 uninfected controls from the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection study. Regression analyses were used to explore associations between elevated cytokine concentrations and lung function indices. Results PWH were predominantly male (84.6%) and 94.2% had undetectable viral replication. In PWH, elevated IL-6 was associated with lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second (−212 mL [95% confidence interval, −308 to −116 mL]), lower forced vital capacity (−208 mL [−322 to −93 mL] ), and airflow limitation (aOR, 2.62 [1.58–4.36]) (all P  & lt; .001) in models adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, smoking status, body mass index, and CD4 T-cell nadir. The association between IL-6 and dynamic lung function was modified by smoking (P for interaction = .005). Conclusion IL-6 levels were elevated and independently associated with low dynamic lung function and airflow limitation in well-treated PWH, suggesting that systemic inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary diseases.

    Abstract: The purpose of this study was to characterize the diagnostic performance of a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP) in blood. Blood samples were collected during hospitalization of 165 inpatients with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and from 505 outpatients predominantly with relevant symptoms of COVID-19 simultaneously with PCR testing. For the 143 inpatients who had their first blood sample collected within 2 weeks after PCR-confirmed infection, the diagnostic sensitivity of the ELISA was 91.6%. The mean NP concentration of the 131 ELISA-positive blood samples was 1,734 pg/ml (range, 10 to 3,840 pg/ml). An exponential decline in NP concentration was observed for 368 blood samples collected over the first 4 weeks after PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, and all blood samples taken later had an NP concentration below the 10-pg/ml diagnostic cutoff. The diagnostic sensitivity of the ELISA was 81.4% for the 43 blood samples collected from outpatients with a simultaneous positive PCR test, and the mean NP concentration of the 35 ELISA-positive samples was 157 pg/ml (range, 10 to 1,377 pg/ml). For the 462 outpatients with a simultaneous negative PCR test, the diagnostic specificity of the ELISA was 99.8%. In conclusion, the SARS-CoV-2 NP ELISA is a suitable laboratory diagnostic test for COVID-19, particularly for hospitals, where blood samples are readily available and screening of serum or plasma by ELISA can facilitate prevention of nosocomial infections and reduce the requirement for laborious swab sampling and subsequent PCR analysis to confirmatory tests only.

    Abstract: People living with HIV (PLWH) have increased systemic inflammation, and inflammation has been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of emphysema. We investigated whether elevated cytokine concentrations (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), interferon-gamma (IFNγ), soluble CD14 (sCD14) and sCD163 were independently associated with radiographic emphysema in PLWH. Methods We included PLWH from the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) Study without hepatitis B and C co-infection and with a plasma sample and a chest computed tomography scan available. Emphysema plus trace emphysema was defined as the percentage of low attenuation area under −950 Houndsfield Unit (%LAA-950) using a cut-off at 5%. Cytokine concentrations were measured by ELISA or Luminex immunoassays. An elevated cytokine concentration was defined as above the 75 th percentile. Results Of 783 PLWH, 147 (18.8%) had emphysema. PLWH were predominantly male (86.0%) and 743 (94.9%) had undetectable viral replication. PLWH with emphysema had higher concentrations of TNFα (median (IQR): 8.2 (6.4-9.8) versus 7.1 (5.7-8.6) pg/ml, p & lt;0.001), IL-1β (0.21 (0.1-0.4) versus 0.17 (0.1-0.3) pg/ml, p=0.004) and IL-6 (3.6 (2.6-4.9) versus 3.1 (2.0-4.3) pg/ml, p=0.023) than PLWH without. In a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, smoking status, BMI and CD4 nadir, elevated TNFα (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.78 [95%CI: 1.14-2.76], p=0.011) and IL-1β (aOR: 1.81 [95%CI: 1.16-2.81] , p=0.009) were independently associated with emphysema. The association between IL-1β and emphysema was modified by smoking (p-interaction=0.020) with a more pronounced association in never-smokers (aOR: 4.53 [95%CI: 2.05-9.98], p & lt;0.001). Conclusion Two markers of systemic inflammation, TNFα and IL-1β, were independently associated with emphysema in PLWH and may contribute to the pathogenesis of emphysema. Importantly, the effect of IL-1β seems to be mediated through pathways that are independent of excessive smoking. Clinical Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov , identifier NCT02382822.
