Analysis of HIV/HCV-coinfection in Poltava region, depending on the transmission of HIV. It was found that clinical stages III (p=0,038) and IV (p=0,044) were recorded significantly more often at the time of diagnosis of HIV infection among patients with parenteral route of transmission, whereas among patients with sexually transmission, by contrast, clinical stage I (p=0,001) was found more often.
In patients with HIV/HCV-coinfection with parenteral route of HIV opportunistic infections (FDPT, oropharyngeal candidiasis, bacterial pneumonia) were often diagnosed at higher levels of CD4-lymphocyte (≥100 cells/ml). There is no difference between group of patients with significant immunodeficiency (level of CD4-lymphocytes <100 cells/microliter) and group of patients with HIV/HCV coinfection in identifying of important opportunistic infections.
