Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) co-infection and other factors on the HIV replication level in antiretroviral treatment na(i)ve patients.MethodsSix hundred TB patients and 465 HIV infectors were recruited between April 2010 and September 2010.TB coinfections were diagnosed in HIV infected cases with chest X-ray,checking TB in sputum with anti-acid staining and culture of the sputum,histopatholo diagnosis and clinical diagnosis.HIV infections were screened in TB patients with the 3rd generation ELISA antibody test.Sixty-one antiretroviral treatment na(i)ve HIV/TB co-infectors and 34 HIV infectors with CD4 T cell count below 350 cells/μl were included in this study.Information about the demography,epidemiology and results of clinical diagnostic tests of HIV and TB was collected through pathography and questionnaires from all participants.HIV viral load were detected with COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan(R) System of Roche Company.ResultsThe viral load of HIV/TB co-infectors was (5.05±0.93) lg copies/ml,while the viral load of HIV infectors was (5.06±0.76) lg copies/ml,after control of age,race,marital status,education,route of HIV infection,HIV clade and CD4 T cell count,there was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.94).CRF01_AE HIV-1 infection was associated with higher HIV viral load compared with non CRF01_AE (OR=8.07,95％ CI 1.07-61.20,P=0.04).ConclusionNo obvious effect of MTB co-infection on HIV replication level of HIV infected cases with relatively low CD4 T cell count in Guangxi region,while the CRF01_AE HIV infected individuals showed higher viral load,we should raise concern on the monitoring and treatment on this population.
