Comparación entre pacientes VIH con conteo de linfocitos T CD4 menos de 200 y más de 200 en el desarrollo de síndrome distrés respiratorio por neumonía en el hospital general Guasmo Sur entre los años 2017 y 2019.

Abstract

Respiratory distress syndrome is a pathology characterized by a series of inflammatory and necrotizing phenomena associated with high mortality. Studies have associated a variety of risk factors in the development of this, in which we most frequently find severe pneumonia due to pathogens of greater virulence, which can commonly be seen in a state of immunosuppression as in the case of HIV patients with a disease unbalanced. This research work was carried out at the General Hospital Guasmo Sur, during the period 2017-2019, through indirect observation of HIV patients who have developed respiratory distress, determining the relationship between the T CD4 lymphocyte count and its development. The study universe was made up of 102 individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were obtained by reviewing medical records. A spearman correlation index of - .738 was obtained between the levels of T CD4 lymphocytes with the probability of developing respiratory distress, demonstrating that the lower the amount of T CD4 count, the greater the probability of developing respiratory distress.
