Neuroinfección como factor de morbi-mortalidad en pacientes con VIH-SIDA
Summary: Neuroinfections are one of the largest groups and the largest incidence of opportunistic involvement in HIV/AIDS patients, contributing to their morbidity and mortality rate. This will be aggravated by the different comorbidities that each patient may present, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, sepsis, renal failure, among others, for which the most frequent have been detailed. The main objective of the research work is to be able to determine which factors influence the morbidity and mortality of patients with neuroinfection and HIV AIDS, who have been registered at the "Teodoro Maldonado Carbo" Specialty Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022. We present a study with a quantitative, non-experimental analytical approach, of type retrospective, cross-sectional and correlational level. Its population was patients with HIV/AIDS who presented neuroinfections from January 2019 to June 2022, which totaled 154 patients, who became the sample by meeting all the inclusion criteria. Of the total, in 2021 the largest number of patients was obtained, being 35.7%; the male sex predominates with 83.80% of the total, the mestizo race with 97.4% and the predominant age range ranges from 35 to 44 years, with 45.5% of the total. The most frequent neuroinfection was Meningoencephalitis due to Toxoplasma, with 56.5% of the total, while the predominant morbidity was tuberculosis with 33.7%. The CD4+ ratio is consistent with these same morbidity and mortality parameters, with deaths accounting for 51.3% of the total.
