THE IMPACT OF HELMINTH INFECTIONS ON THE DYNAMICS OF IMMUNOLOGICAL STATUS IN HIV-INFECTED PATIENTS OF SUBCLINICAL STAGE

Abstract

The problem of helminthiasis in HIV-infected persons is relevant today, due to the fact that parasitic invasions tend to grow both worldwide and in Russia. Helminthiasis in HIV-infected patients are often found to be secondary infections, aggravating the development of HIV and leading to severe disease. The article presents the experimental and clinical data of the study of immune characteristics in HIV-infected patients in subclinical stage 3 with the presence of helminthiasis and the effect of antiparasitic treatment against the background of antiretroviral therapy on their immune status.
