Publisher Description
Sir, Manhas and colleagues (1) reported genital mycoplasmas in HIV-infected men with urethritis calling attention to the emerging area of genitourinary Mycoplasma infections. Infection with HIV has also been associated with the renal disease termed HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) that we speculated (2) could also be associated with mycoplasma infection. Although the prevalence of HIVAN is not well characterized, especially in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), prevalence has been estimated to be between 3.5 and 10 per cent of people living with HIV infection (3). The prevalence varies predominantly due to the proportion of African Americans in the population and is lower among persons prescribed HAART (4,5).
