FIS Project L8: Describe and compare the characteristics of different populations, mainly located in developing countries. Participation with information on other cohorts in different countries. To evaluate the virological parameters of HIV in terms of its genotype and subtypes and resistance to antiretroviral drugs, to analyse and compare between cohorts and the time trends in each of them. The Equatorial Guinea cohort. The European cohort. The Latin American cohort. L9: Activation and immunosenescence during immune maturation in vertically HIV-infected children. Axis 3: Tuberculosis L1: Determination of the plasma free cytokine profile and specific response to M. tuberculosis.

L3: Describe the pharmacokinetics (C max, area under the curve, time to maximum concentration) after administration of isoniazid (single daily oral dose of 10 mg/kg body weight) in the study population, and its equivalence in neonates, infants between 1 and 3 months, and infants between 3 and 6 months L4: Registration of paediatric TB cases in our country and describe their clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapeutic approach and evolution of paediatric TB cases in the hospitals of the Spanish Network for the Study of Paediatric Tuberculosis. L5: To create a national collection of samples from paediatric tuberculosis patients, archived as a biobank. L6: To learn about antituberculosis drug prescription practices in children in Spain (Phase I MAGISTRAL Project) and to write a consensus document on the prescription of antituberculosis drugs in children (Phase II MAGISTRAL Project). L7: To determine the combined sensitivity and specificity of the tuberculin test and IGRA tests in the diagnosis of peripheral adenitis due to non-tuberculosis mycobacteria in Spain and Europe.
