ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of the main pathogens of HIV/AIDS patients with wound infections and provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 294 patients with positive secretions or pus specimens from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 357 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 294 cases, of which 123 strains of Gram-negative bacilli (G-b), accounting for 34.5%, were mainly Escherichia coli (15.4%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (3.9%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%); Gram-positive bacilli (G+b) 14 strains, accounting for 3.9%; 108 Gram-positive cocci (G+c), accounting for 30.3%, of which 44 strains were coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus (12.3%), Coagulase-negative staphylococci were mainly Staphylococcus epidermidis (4.2%) and Staphylococcus hemolyticus (2.8%); 37 strains of fungi, accounting for 10.4%, were mainly Candida albicans (5.9%); 75 strains of Mycobacterium, accounting for 21.0%, including 41 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (11.5%) and 34 strains of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (9.5%). 52 of the 294 HIV/AIDS patients had mixed infections, accounting for 17.7%. There was significant difference in the distribution of G+c, G-b, mycobacteria and mixed infection among different specimen sources (P<0.05), and there was significant difference in the distribution of mycobacteria among different CD4+T lymphocyte counts (P<0.05). There was significant difference in the level of CD4+T lymphocytes between patients of different ages (P<0.05), and there was significant difference in the level of CD4+T lymphocytes from postoperative incision and other parts (P<0.05). Conclusions Patients with HIV/AIDS are prone to combined wound infections with various pathogenic bacteria. We should strengthen the research on wound infection in HIV/AIDS patients, and timely send patients with a low number of CD4+T lymphocytes for secretion or pus culture, so as to carry out targeted treatment and improve the prognosis of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To learn the genotypic drug resistance of men who have sex with men ( MSM ) with HIV who failed in antiviral therapy in Yunnan Province, in order to provide basis for improving the effect of antiviral therapy.@*Methods@#The patients who were infected with HIV-1, homosexual transmitted and failed in antiviral therapy in Yunnan Province from 2014 to 2019 were recruited. Their plasma samples were tested by reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction ( RT-nPCR ) , the fragments were spliced using ContigExpress, and the resistance to 8 protease inhibitors ( PIs ) , 7 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors ( NRTIs ) and 5 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors ( NNRTIs ) were obtained from the HIV drug resistance data website of Stanford University.@*Results@#A total of 205 HIV/AIDS cases were included, 169 positive plasma samples were amplified, 112 cases were drug resistant, and the rate of drug resistance was 66.27%. The patients who were aged 30-49 years ( 76.09% ) , had genotype of CRF01_AE ( 76.34% ) or treated by AZT+3TC+NVP ( 77.08% ) had higher resistance rate. The resistance rates of NNRTIs, NRTIs and PIs were 62.72%, 49.70% and 2.96%, respectively; the resistance rates of NVP and EFV in NNRTIs were 62.72% and 61.54%. The main mutation site associated with NNRTIs was K103, accounting for 21.89% ( 37 cases ) ; the main mutation site associated with NRTIs was M184, accounting for 39.64% ( 67 cases ) ; the main mutation sites associated with PIs were M46L/K, accounting for 2.96% ( 5 cases ) , resulting in high resistance to NFV.@*Conclusions@#The drug resistance rate of HIV-infected MSM with failure of antiviral therapy in Yunnan Province is relatively high, with CRF01_AE as the main gene subtype of drug resistance. The drug resistance rate of NNRTIs is relatively high, especially NVP and EFV.
