Principales enfermedades oportunistas en pacientes con VIH de 20 a 30 años de edad en el Hospital General Monte Sinaí desde enero del 2022 hasta diciembre del 2022.

Abstract

Introduction: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has become a chronic disease. Appropriate antiretroviral therapy (ART) allows people living with HIV a near-normal life expectancy; However, chronic comorbidities can shorten life expectancy, in addition to opportunistic diseases that can lead to greater patient deterioration. Therefore, effective management of comorbidities is as important as management of HIV infection. Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional, retrospective and analytical study since the clinical records of patients at Monte Sinai General Hospital will be analyzed from January 2022 to December 2022, without manipulating the data. Results: a sample of 3809 patients treated at the Mount Sinai Hospital during 2022 could be obtained, 82.31% were male patients and 17.69% were female. 99.87% were only diagnosed with HIV without presenting other symptoms due to opportunistic diseases, however only 0.13% presented other types of infections and opportunistic diseases due to HIV. Conclusions: it was possible to analyze that most of the patients did not present important infections or comorbidities, for the most part, which leads to further studies being carried out in the country to better understand the situation at the national level.
