Human immunodeficiency virus-related mortality in the Russian Federation in 1987–2018

The aim of the research. Assessment of the influence of social factors on the course and outcome of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in patients with tuberculosis and HIV-associated tuberculosis.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 103 case histories of patients in 2 study groups: HIVassociated TB/COVID-19 (n=45) and TB/COVID-19 (n=58) is presented.Results. The mean age of patients with a combination of HIV-associated tuberculosis and COVID-19 infection (42,8 ± 7,2 years) is significantly lower than patients with tuberculosis and COVID-19 infection (51,3 ± 13 years). Bad habits, including drug addiction (62,2% and 3,4% in the groups, respectively) and alcoholism (93,3% and 67,2% in the groups, respectively) were associated with HIV infection. Hepatitis C (77,8% and 15,5% in the groups, respectively), refusal of further inpatient treatment (84,4% and 25,9% in the groups, respectively), stay in correctional labor institutions (ITU) (53,3% and 27,6% in the groups, respectively) were significantly more common in HIV-infected patients. Such social factors as disability, lack of work, place of residence, degree of education, living with or without relatives, marital status, housing characteristics did not affect the dynamics and outcome of the disease in general. The form and phase of the course of tuberculosis were associated with HIV infection. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was associated with the absence of HIV infection (0% and 17.2% in the groups, respectively). The severity of the course of COVID-19, the outcome of the disease at the end of inpatient treatment did not depend on the presence of HIV infection.Conclusion. No direct relationship between HIV infection and social factors associated with it with the severity of tuberculosis and the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 has been established.
