THE VALUE OF CD4-LYMPHOCETES AND VIRAL LOAD IN THE EYE PATHOLOGY IN PATIENTS WITH HIV-INFECTION AND PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

A summary of the HIV infection most often develops tuberculosis lung lesion. Often, TB-HIV patients takes a generalized nature. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis occur twice as often in HIV-infected patients. The aim of the study was to determine what is the pathology of the eye occurs most frequently in HIV-infected patients, and the dependence of the number of CD4 cells and the pathology of the eye. Materials and methods. For two years in an urban Protivotuberkuljoznom Dispensary 3084 were surveyed patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, of which 320 patients with HIV infection. Results. Among 320 persons during this period eye disease defined at 55.9%. At 24.6% eye was diagnosed with tuberculosis in active phase of inflammation, 13.4% of tuberculosis defeat eye in the inactive phase of inflammation. Eye lesions diagnosed tuberculosis not at 62%. Conclusion. In HIV-infected patients on the background of the express immunodeficiency syndrome is most commonly diagnosed toxic retinovaskulity and focal peripheral horioretinity tubercular etiology as active and not active phase of inflammation. The number of CD4 cells was such patients 200-300/mm3 and lower. Normal CD4 cells up to 1600/mm3 (bibliography: 10 refs).
