The Effect Evaluation of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy to Patients with AIDS in Hubei Province of China

【摘要】 The effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART) to patients with AIDS in Hubei province of China were investigated in order to provide scientific evidence to reinforce the management of HAART.Self-made questionnaires and descriptive method of epidemiology were used to collect and describe the changes of clinical symptoms,HIV RNA concentration,and immune function of patients with AIDS.After HAART,the effective rate of fever,cough,diarrhea,lymphadenectasis,weight loss,tetter,debility and fungous infection was 92.4%,90.85%,92.91%,90.73%,93.69%,89.04%,92.34%,and 83.1%,respectively.Of 117 patients with detected HIV RNA concentration,41.03% had declined over 0.5 log,and 52.99% less than 0.5 log.CD4+T cell count was obviously increased:the average number after HAART for 3 or 6 months was 237/μL(26-755/μL) and 239/μL(17-833/μL),respectively.HAART can improve AIDS patients’ clinical symptoms,reduce HIV RNA concentration,and maintain immune function.It is very important for the effectiveness of HAART to raise clinical adherence of patients with AIDS and have a persistent surveillance.更多还原
