Parâmetros imunovirológicos em pacientes infectados pelo HIV, tratados ou não com antirretrovirais

Abstract

Brazil is one of the most affected countries by HIV, reporting 608,230 cases that have accumulated from 1980 to June 2011 with the largest concentration in the south-east. It is known that, among many other factors, progression to AIDS is influenced by metabolic, virological and immunological variables. Moreover, persistent immune activation and continuous inflammatory stimulus, even during antiretroviral therapy (ART), or the absence of symptomatology may lead to the instability of various cytokines and potentially influence the progression of the disease itself or other comorbidities that are determinant to increase morbidity and mortality in association with AIDS or not. Eighty volunteers were assisted and studied in the Specialized Outpatient Service and Day Hospital “Domingos Alves Meira” at the Botucatu School of Medicine (FMB) - UNESP and at the Hemocenter of Botucatu. They were divided into four groups: 20 HIV-infected patients who had never been treated (G1); 20 patients using ART with a detectable viral load (VL) (G2); 24 patients using ART with undetectable VL (G3); 16 healthy individuals, control group (CG). The study aimed at evaluating immunovirological parameters (T CD4+, T CD8+ lymphocyte count and HIV plasma VL quantification) of HIV-infected patients and correlate them with inflammatory (IL-6, IL-17, TNF- and IFN-) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) serum cytokines by the ELISA method, time of infection, ART use and other laboratory tests (hemogram, lipid profile, glycemia, liver enzymes, LDH, creatinine and CRP). Comparison of numeric variables in relation to the groups were performed by using the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test, analysis of variance ANOVA and Tukey’s test. Associations were made between variables and the study groups by analyzing contingency tables with the application of the... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

O Brasil é um dos países mais afetados pelo HIV, com notificação de 608.230 casos acumulados de 1980 até junho de 2011, com a maior concentração na região Sudeste. Sabe-se que, entre muitos outros fatores a progressão para aids sofre influência de variáveis metabólicas, virológicas e imunológicas. Além disso, persistente ativação imune e contínuo estímulo inflamatório, mesmo durante a terapia antirretroviral (TARV) ou ausência de sintomatologia, podem levar ao desequilíbrio de várias citocinas e influenciar, potencialmente, a progressão da própria doença ou outras comorbidades, que são determinantes para aumentar a morbidade e mortalidade, associadas ou não à aids. Foram estudados 80 voluntários atendidos no Serviço de Ambulatórios Especializados e Hospital Dia “Domingos Alves Meira”, FMB/UNESP e no Hemocentro de Botucatu, divididos em quatro grupos: 20 pacientes com infecção pelo HIV, virgens de tratamento (G1); 20 pacientes em uso de TARV com carga viral (CV) detectável (G2); 24 pacientes em uso de TARV com CV indetectável (G3); 16 indivíduos saudáveis, grupo controle (GC). O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar parâmetros imunovirológicos (contagem de linfócitos T CD4+, T CD8+ e dosagem da CV plasmática do HIV) de pacientes infectados pelo HIV, correlacionando citocinas séricas inflamatórias (IL-6, IL-17, TNF- e IFN-) e antinflamatória (IL-10) pelo método de ELISA, tempo de infecção, uso de TARV e outros exames laboratoriais (hemograma, perfil lipídico, glicemia, enzimas hepáticas, DHL, creatinina e PCR). As comparações das variáveis numéricas em relação aos grupos foram feitas utilizando o teste de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, seguido de teste de Dunn e análise da variância ANOVA, seguido de Tukey...
