Determine the Prevalence and Severity of Asthma in HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Infected Patients

Duke University83 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and severity of asthma in patients with HIV. To determine the immunological phenotype of HIV-infected patients with asthma.

Prospectively clinically phenotype and the prevalence of asthma in HIV infected patients in the Duke ID Clinic * HIV infected asthmatic subjects meeting clinical definitions for asthma compared to HIV uninfected asthma subjects identified at the DAAAC and HIV infected non-asthmatic subjects. * Prospective immunological phenotyping - HIV-infected asthma subjects prospectively identified and clinically phenotyped compared to HIV-uninfected asthma subjects identified at the DAAAC and HIV infected non-asthma subjects. Regarding the sampling method of probability sample: All samples for HIV infected asthmatic patients, HIV uninfected asthmatic patients and HIV infected non-asthmatics patients will be analyzed. Retrospectively determine overall asthma prevalence and severity among HIV-infected patients. Retrospective immunological phenotyping (circulating cytokines) of HIV-infected patients utilizing available specimens in the Duke HIV Specimen Biorepository * HIV-infected asthmatic subjects meeting asthma definition compared to overall asthma prevalence in U.S. population * HIV-infected asthma subjects meeting asthma definitions compared to matched HIV-infected non-asthma subjects

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Asthma prevalence of HIV infected subjects currently followed at the Duke Infectious Disease (ID) Clinic compared to HIV uninfected asthma subjects identified at the Duke Asthma, Allergy and Airway Center (DAAAC).

Assessed through Asthma control questionnaire, pulse oximetry, FeNO, Spirometry, Methacholine challenge, Induced sputum for differential, serum periostin, questionnaires

Time frame: 12 months

Asthma phenotypic characteristics of HIV infected subjects compared to HIV uninfected asthma subjects and HIV infected non-asthmatic subjects.

Assessed through blood collection

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Outcomes

Prospective immunological phenotyping of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines and T cell subsets

Assessed through blood sample collection

Time frame: 12 months

Retrospective immunological phenotyping (circulating cytokines) of HIV-infected patients utilizing available specimens in the Duke HIV Biorepository

The primary measure of is the quantitative difference in IL-6 between HIV-infected asthmatic subjects and HIV-infected non-asthmatic subjects.

Time frame: 12 months

Retrospectively determine overall asthma prevalence among HIV-infected patients

HIV-infected asthmatic subjects meeting electronic health records asthma definition Compared overall asthma prevalence in U.S. population.

Time frame: 12 months
