Abstract:
67 AIDS patients and 35 patients with HIV+ admited to National Institute for Clinical research of tropical diseases were investigated to determine the changes in some biochemical and immunological parameters. CD4 decreased in both groups of patients, but the AIDS patients have more decreased number of cells (AIDS: 99.5%; HIV+: 83.3%). CD8 increased (61.1%) or normal (38.9%) in the patients with HIV+, but decreased 15.5% and only increased 25% in the patients with AIDS. Total protein level was decreased in 33.3% of AIDS patients and 8.82% of HIV+ individuals. Albumin level severely decreased in both groups. Globulin concentration increased in both groups. The activities of GOT, GPT and LDH increased in both groups. Little changes was shown in the rest biochemical parameters
