Abstract
An early-stage infection induces the most powerful reactions of immune system. 137 clinical histories of patients with HIV infection, and HCV/HIV-infected at the early stages of HIV infection were subjected to analysis. Patients and methods: a group of 45 patients at early terms of HIV infection included 25 cases of HCV/HIV-infected patients (first group), and 20 cases with HIV mono-infection (second group). Duration of infection was less than 1 year (with positive ELISA test), with mean terms of HIV immunoblot positivity of 5.5±0.6 months. For comparative analysis, the natural course group was examined, i.e., 43 patients with combined HCV/HIV infection (third group), and 49, with HIV monoinfection (fourth group) with a duration of HIV infection for 4.4±0.21 years. The group of healthy controls included 52 persons. We aimed to perform a comparative evaluation of clinical course and immunological features from the early stages of infection in the patients with combined HCV/HIV and HIV infection. Results: at early stages of infection, clinical pattern in HCV/HIV-infected patients was dominated by purulent-inflammatory, fungal infections and secondary diseases, along with more pronounced inhibition of cellular immunity and increased viral load of RNA HIV, as compared to data on HIV-infected patients.

Summary
Проанализированы 137 клинических историй пациентов с ВИЧ-инфекцией и ВГС/ВИЧ-инфицированных на ранних сроках инфицирования ВИЧ. Группа из 45 пациентов на ранних сроках инфицирования ВИЧ – из них 25 ВГС/ВИЧ-инфицированных (первая группа) и 20 с ВИЧ-моноинфекцией (вторая группа), длительность инфицирования составляла менее 1 года (при ИФА (+), иммуноблот становился положительным в среднем в течение 5,5±0,6 мес.). Для сравнительного анализа была обследована группа естественного течения – 43 пациента с сочетанной ВГС/ВИЧ-инфекцией (третья группа) и 49 с ВИЧ-моноинфекцией (четвертая группа) с длительностью инфицирования ВИЧ 4,4±0,21 года; в группе здоровых было 52 человека. Цель – провести сравнительную характеристику клинического течения и иммунологических особенностей c ранних сроков инфицирования у пациентов с сочетанной ВГС/ВИЧ и ВИЧ-инфекцией. Результаты: у ВГС/ВИЧ-инфицированных с ранних сроков инфицирования на фоне более выраженного угнетения клеточного иммунитета и повышенной вирусной нагрузки РНК ВИЧ по сравнению с данными при ВИЧ-инфекции в клинической картине преобладали гнойно-воспалительные, грибковые поражения и вторичные заболевания.
