Abstract:
The clinical, immunological, virological and epidemiological data were collected in 149
adult patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS infection. Late diagnoses were defined as a CD4 count
of < 350 cells/µl and/or an AIDS associated condition. More than half (63,09%) of the
investigated patients had at the time of diagnosis severe immunosuppression and/or clinical
AIDS, a much higher proportion compared to that of approximately 15 – 38%, described in
Europe. The most frequent AIDS related conditions were oropharyngeal candidiasis, tuberculosis
and wasting syndrome.
Au fost evaluaţi din punct de vedere clinic, imunologic, virusologic şi epidemiologic 149
pacienţi adulţi cu infecţie HIV/SIDA. Diagnosticul tardiv a fost definit prin prezenţa bolilor
asociate SIDA şi/sau a unui nivel al T-limfocitelor CD4 < 350 celule/µl. Mai mult de jumătate
(63,09%) dintre pacienţii studiaţi prezentau la momentul depistării imunodepresie severă şi/sau o
boală asociată SIDA, o proporţie mult mai mare decât cea de aproximativ 15 – 38% înregistrată
în Europa. Bolile asociate SIDA cele mai frecvente au fost candidoza orofaringiană,
tuberculozaşisindromul wasting.
