Infecciones Oportunistas en Personas con el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana Paraguay 2010-2016

To determine the seroprevalence of opportunistic infections (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Toxoplasmosis and Cytomegalovirus) in people with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) who were diagnosed and institutionalized in the National HIV / AIDS / STI Control Program during the period 2010 to 2016. Descriptive, retrospective, analytical, cross-sectional epidemiological study. We included 15,086 samples of patients of all ages, with a diagnosis of HIV that were institutionalized in the National HIV / AIDS / STI Control Program (PRONASIDA) between January 2010 and December 2016. Serological studies were carried out to detect infections opportunists (antibodies against Hepatitis A Virus, Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus, IgM antibodies against Toxoplasmosis and IgM antibodies against Cytomegalovirus). The overall prevalence of opportunistic infections is 6.8% (n = 1032). The most frequent opportunistic infection was Hepatitis B with 482 cases, the second most important OI was Cytomegalovirus with 279 cases, then Toxoplasmosis and Hepatitis C with 135 and 134 cases respectively, and finally Hepatitis A with 2 cases. An accurate and early diagnosis of opportunistic infections that affect patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is fundamental in addressing this population, which can have an impact on reducing the morbidity, costs and associated mortality to opportunists.
