METHOD OF PREDICTING VERSION OF HIV-INFECTION COURSE IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to infectious diseases. In order to predict version of HIV-infection course in children in child's blood tested are quantity of CD-4-lymphocytes and HIV viral loading of blood (VLB). Additionally tested are mother's anamnestic indices: age, intake of drugs, chronic metroendometritis, chronic vaginitis, HIV-infection, gestosis during pregnancy, threat of pregnancy abortion, chorionamnionitis during pregnancy, fetoplacental insufficiency, labour. Child's anamnestic indices are analysed: inborn development defects, retardation of intrauterine development, jaundice in the newborn period, intrauterine infection different from HIV, generalised lymphadenopathy, hepatomegalia, splenomegalia, body weight, mucosa candidosis, acute respiratory infections, pneumonia. Each mothger's anamnestic index, as well as child's anamnestic index, in case of their presence, are given points. If the sum of points is not lower than "plus" 13, quick version of HIV-infection course in children infected with HIV by vertical way, is predicted.

EFFECT: method increases reliability of predicting version of HIV-infection course in children, infected with HIV by vertical way.
