Brucellosis is a systemic disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients in Hamadan Province in the west of Iran.
A total of 157 HIV-infected patients were screened through standard serological tests, including Wright's test, Coombs' Wright test, and 2-mercaptoethanol agglutination test (2ME test), blood cultures in Castaneda media, and CD4 counting. Data were analyzed using Stata version 11.
Wright and Coombs' Wright tests were carried out, and only 5 (3.2%) patients had positive serological results. However, all patients had negative 2ME results, and blood cultures were negative for spp. Moreover, patients with positive serology and a mean CD4 count of 355.8 ± 203.11 cells/μL had no clinical manifestations of brucellosis, and, and the other patients had a mean CD4 count of 335.55 ± 261.71 cells/μL.
Results of this study showed that HIV infection is not a predisposing factor of acquiring brucellosis.
布鲁氏菌病是一种具有广泛临床表现的全身性疾病。本研究旨在确定伊朗西部哈马丹省人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染患者中布鲁氏菌病的血清流行率。
通过标准血清学检测对157例HIV感染患者进行筛查,包括wright试验、库姆斯wright试验和2-巯基乙醇凝集试验(2ME试验),在卡斯塔涅达培养基中进行血培养,并进行CD4计数。使用Stata 11版对数据进行分析。
进行了wright试验和库姆斯wright试验,只有5例(3.2%)患者血清学结果呈阳性。然而,所有患者2ME结果均为阴性,血培养对布鲁氏菌属均为阴性。血清学阳性且平均CD4计数为355.8±203.11个细胞/μL的患者无布鲁氏菌病临床表现,其他患者平均CD4计数为335.55±261.71个细胞/μL。
本研究结果表明,HIV感染不是获得布鲁氏菌病的 predisposing因素。 (注:“predisposing”未找到合适中文对应,保留英文)
