The epidemic characters and tendency of HIV/AIDS of Sinkiang / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the epidemic characters and tendency of HIV/AIDS (Human immunodeficiency virus/ Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) from serologic check results.Methods 36 021 specimens of suspected clinical cases and routine cases before surgery in Xinjiang Urumqi Uiger Municipal People's Hospital were detected from 2001—2004. At first, these cases werescreened by ELISA(Enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay) , then ascertained by desease-control center and AIDS surveillance systems through WB , HIV RNA were estimated by the application of RT-PCR , CD cell were counted with flow cytometry.Result Prevalence figures have risen sharply from 1999—2001 and increased steadily since 2002 , the positive rates of anti-HIV were 0.714%(259 cases) . 38 percents cases were female (97/259), female ratio had the increasing trend and 3 cases were found as intrauterine infection . 80% cases were adolescent(16 year old to 35 year old) , 85.6% cases were Uiger minority , 94% and 67.7% cases were drug abuse through vein and non-occupation respectively.83.3% and 8.69% cases were found in north and south of Xinjiang respectively.The positive rates of virus nucleic acid were 50% , in which 76%(19/25) were 104~105 cop/ml. CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8 were all abnormal,CD4/CD8 ratio decreased to 96%,The number of CD4 cells was remarkably reduced 56%; while CD8 cells was significantly rised 60%;Inpatients increased gradually. Among them , 80% cases were dead due to infection , 16.7% surgical cases were fracture spontaneously.Conclusion The serologic detection of anti- HIV , HIV RNA , CD cell counts had confirmed AIDS episode later ; The progress was more rapidly;infectious rate of female was increased and followed intrauterine infection in Xinjiang.The numbers of episode and death were in growth stage , antivirus therapy were imperative.
