METHOD OF PREDICTING VERSION OF HIV-INFECTION COURSE IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to infectious diseases. In order to predict version of HIV-infection course in children analysis of anamnestic parameters of mother and child is carried out. As anamnestic parameters of mother analysed are presence or absence of: gestosis during pregnancy, syndrome of fetus development retardation, preterm delivery. As anamnestic parameters of child analysed are presence or absence of: retardation in physical development during the first year of life, transfer to bottle feeding at the age younger than three months, HIV infection at the age younger than one year, acute HIV-infection. Additionally 12 months after infection with HIV in child analysed are number of CD4-lymphocytes in blood and presence or absence of: generalised lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, body weight deficit 10% and more, HIV-encelophalopathy, myocardiopathy, renal disease, long unmotivated fever, anemia, localised forms of bacterial infections, localised form of herpes simplex infection, localised form of candidosis. Each index is given points, which are summed up. The sum of points is used to predict version of HIV-infection course in children, infected with HIV by parenteral route.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to predict quick version of HIV-infection course in children, infected with HIV by parenteral route.
