Treatment of patients with tuberculosis and HIV infection in the day care Hospital of tuberculosis Dispensary

Abstract

Patients (424) have active TB process and were treated in the day hospital (DH) of TB dispensary. The comparative analysis of patients with co-infection (TB and HIV infection) (97) and patients with tuberculosis (327) is carried out. Hospitalization of patients with co-infection is caused not so much by holding the main course of treatment (42.3%) as of TB patients (74.9%), as a continuation of treatment after hospital (47.4%) and the expectation of the queue before entering the hospital. Patients with a co-infection4 times more often had tuberculosis of lymphatic nods of the chest (18.6 of % against 4.9%) and to their thicket markers of chronic virus hepatitis (82.5% against 4.9%) are revealed. Between patients with the co-infection were many persons with social problems, and efficiency of treat- ment is one third less than in patients with tuberculosis. The day hospital allows to increase duration of controlled therapy even in comparison with a hospital (137.7±9.07 against 88.6±12.4 days).
