Abstract:
Objective To understand the clinical features of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated by cytomegalovirus (CMV)viremia.Methods The clinical data of 249 cases of HIV/AIDS patients hospitalized in Beijing Ditan Hospital from Oct 2008 to Nov 2009 were analyzed retrospectively,in which 43 HIV/AIDS patients were diagnosed with CMV viremia.The symptoms and signs,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)tests,and pathological detections by bronchoscope,gastroscope and fibercoloscope were collected.The database was set up using Excel software.The association between cellular immunity and CMV DNA level was determined by SPSS12.0 software.Results Forty-three patients (17.3%)were diagnosed with CMV viremia by positive results of CMV pp65 antigen and CMV DNA tests; 14 patients manifested retinal bleeding or infiltration and 4 patients displayed retinal fibrosis; 1 patient was diagnosed with CMV pneumonitis by pathological results of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Low level of CD4+ T lymphocytes and CMV DNA levels were positively correlated.Conclusions CMV pp65 antigen and CMV DNA should be detected in HIV/AIDS patients with CD4+ T lymphocytes less than 100 × 106/L and anti-CMV treatment should be given according to the results.Ophthalmologic examination and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid pathological detection are effective methods in diagnose of CMV retinitis and pneumonitis.
