Sputum bacterial load and bacterial composition correlate with lung function and are altered by long term azithromycin treatment in children with HIV-associated chronic lung disease
2022-02-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Long-term azithromycin (AZM) treatment reduces the frequency of acute respiratory exacerbation in children and adolescents with HIV-associated chronic lung disease (HCLD). However, the impact of this treatment on the respiratory bacteriome is unknown. Method African children with HCLD (defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 second z -score (FEV1 z ) less than − 1.0 with no reversibility) w...
