The accurate measuring CD4 are important for knowing immune system from HIV infected person. Because there are increasing clinical complication with decreasing of CD4. Measuring of CD4 also useful for the decisions when therapy of ART started and monitoringefficacy of the medication. Also it is necessary to know CD4 and its relations to HIV stadium in HIV positive patients at Adam MalikGeneral Hospital Medan. The CD4 examination used in EDTA blood. Immunophenotyping examination carried out by Flow CytometryBD FACS CaliburTM used TritestTM BD reagent CD3/CD4/CD45 without true count tube. From 515 HIV patients, 80.5% are men, 86%from all patients between 20-40 years old with biggest risk factor are heterosexual. From 250 patients that examination of CD4, 81%patients are stadium I had amount CD4 > 350/mm. Examination of CD4 arethe important parameter to follow up condition of HIV patient for prevented not become worse, also knowing diseases progressivismand therapy progress.3 and patients stadium III had amount CD4 < 200/mm3

In 2013 a personalised approach to follow-up of HIV patients who had withdrawn from HIV care was taken at RPA Sexual Health, a Sydney metropolitan sexual health service. HIV patients were telephoned, sent text messages, emailed and sent letters multiple times where applicable. With this intervention 20 of 23 people who had withdrawn from HIV care re-engaged. Since that time, active follow-up of all people diagnosed with HIV has resulted in only 2% of HIV patients at RPA Sexual Health being lost to follow-up.

Abstract Abstract 3646 Background: The prognosis of patients with HIV and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has improved considerably since the advent of HAART, approaching that of patients with NHL in the general population when treated with the same chemotherapy regimens. However, it is not clear whether the same holds true for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Aim: To analyze the outcome of patients diagnosed with HL treated with ABVD in the HAART era according to HIV status. Patients: From 1997 to 2010, 237 patients (92 with HIV infection) were newly diagnosed with HL at 5 university hospitals in London and consecutively treated with ABVD chemotherapy. Patients with HIV were older (median age: 41 years vs 31, p<0.001) and more were men (88% vs 59%, p<0.001). The histology subtype was more frequently mixed cellularity in HIV patients (54%) than in non-HIV (19%, p<0.001). In addition, HIV positive patients had more advanced stage at diagnosis (stage III-IV: 80% vs 33%, p<0.001), B-symptoms (81% vs 36%, p<0.001), lower Hb level (<10.5g/dL: 46% vs 20%, p<0.001) and lower albumin level (<4g/dL: 76% vs 35%, p<0.001). Patients with HIV infection had more frequently high risk disease according to the International Prognostic Score than HIV negative patients (IPS>3: 71% vs 22%, p<0.001). Amongst HIV patients, the HIV viral load (VL) was undetectable at the time of HL diagnosis in 52 of 86 patients with available data. The median VL for the remainder was 4,563 (range: 3,060–6,066). Forty-seven patients (53%) had a CD4 count <200/mL. All patients were treated with 4–6 cycles of ABVD chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy to residual/bulky areas according to local policies. Ninety patients with HIV infection received HAART concomitantly during chemotherapy. Results: The complete response (CR) rate in HIV positive and negative patients was 74% and 81%, respectively (p=NS). Fifty-one patients (21%) received consolidation radiotherapy. After a median follow-up of 59 months (range: 8–172 months), 40 patients relapsed at a median time of 7 months (range: 1–106). The median duration of response for HIV positive and negative patients was 33 months and 48 months, respectively (p=NS). Thirty-three patients have died: in 25 cases of HL; 2 patients due to toxicity and 5 patients due to other causes. Five-year event-free survival (EFS) was 59% (95%CI: 46–69) for HIV patients and 65% (95%CI: 56–72) for the remainder (p=NS). Five-year overall survival (OS) was 79% (95%CI: 67–87) and 88% (95%CI: 80–92) for HIV positive and negative patients respectively (p=0.06). HIV status did not predict OS or EFS on multivariate analysis including all variables comprising the IPS and HIV status. Conclusions: This long follow-up study demonstrates that patients diagnosed with HL in the setting of HIV infection have a more extensive disease with adverse prognostic factors. However, when treated with ABVD chemotherapy HIV positive status does not adversely affect OS or EFS. Disclosures: Montoto: Roche: Honoraria; Genentech: Research Funding.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Women infected by HIV are more likely to have cervical cancer and its precursors. Treatment of the precursor lesions can prevent this neoplasia. The aim of this study was to assess the likelihood of recurrent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 or 3 (CIN 2-3) in HIV-infected women, compared with HIV-negative women, all treated by large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ). DESIGN AND SETTING: A cohort study in Instituto Fernandes Figueira, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (IFF-Fiocruz), Rio de Janeiro. METHOD: 55 HIV-positive and 212 HIV-negative women were followed up after LLETZ for CIN 2-3 (range: 6-133 months). RESULTS: The incidence of recurrent CIN 2-3 was 30.06/10,000 woman-months in the HIV-positive group and 4.88/10,000 woman-months in the HIV-negative group (relative risk, RR = 6.16; 95% confidence interval, CI: 2.07-18.34). The likelihood of recurrence reached 26% at the 62nd month of follow-up among the HIV-positive women, and remained stable at almost 0.6% at the 93rd month of follow-up among the HIV-negative women. We were unable to demonstrate other prognostic factors relating to CIN recurrence, but the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may decrease the risk of this occurrence among HIV patients. CONCLUSION: After LLETZ there is a higher risk of recurrence of CIN 2-3 among HIV-positive women than among HIV-negative women. This higher risk was not influenced by margin status or grade of cervical disease treated. The use of HAART may decrease the risk of this occurrence in HIV patients.

The emergence of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has revolutionized the prognosis of HIV-infected patients. However, the extended use of HAART is associated with a disfiguring complication termed lipodystrophy, a disorder of body fat maldistribution causing peripheral fat loss (lipoatrophy) and central fat accumulation (lipohypertrophy). Lipoatrophy commonly affects the face, legs, buttocks and arm, whilst lipohypertrophy frequently favours the abdomen, breast and dorsocervical region. To our knowledge, we present only the second documented case in the literature of a labia majora lipohypertrophy in a HIV-positive patient receiving long-term HAART. The severity of labial abnormality caused significant physical and functional morbidities. Labiaplasty with dermolipectomy of the labia majora and excisional lipectomy of the mons pubis was successfully performed. At a 6-month follow-up, patient had no recurrence with resolution of symptoms and resumption of normal activities of daily living (ADL).

2 clinical observations of generalized forms of mycobacteriosis in HIV (+) patients complicated by secondary spinal lesion are described. Anamnestic data on the presence of mycobacteriosis of the lungs allowed to suspect a secondary lesion of the spine. Verification of the diagnosis is possible only with bacteriological confirmation, since the histological picture is nonspecific and resembles tuberculous granulomatous inflammation. Treatment of spondylitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria is complex and includes both surgical rehabilitation of the focus and long-term (at least 1 year) antibiotic therapy.

Periodontitis is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary vascular disease (CVD). This research evaluated the relationship between periodontal conditions and postoperative outcome in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A total of 101 patients with CVD (age 69 years, 88.1% males) and the necessity of CABG surgery were included. Periodontal diagnosis was made according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2007). Additionally, periodontal epithelial surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) were determined. Multivariate survival analyses were carried out after a one-year follow-up period with Cox regression. All study subjects suffered from periodontitis (28.7% moderate, 71.3% severe). During the follow-up period, 14 patients (13.9%) experienced a new cardiovascular event (11 with angina pectoris, 2 with cardiac decompensation, and 1 with cardiac death). Severe periodontitis was not significant associated with the incidence of new events (adjusted hazard ratio, HR = 2.6; p = 0.199). Other risk factors for new events were pre-existing peripheral arterial disease (adjusted HR = 4.8, p = 0.030) and a history of myocardial infarction (HR = 6.1, p = 0.002). Periodontitis was not found to be an independent risk factor for the incidence of new cardiovascular events after CABG surgery.

Abstract Background Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels have been reported to be associated with infectious mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Peritonitis is the most common and fatal infectious complication, resulting in technique failure, hospital admission and mortality. Whether PTH is associated with peritonitis episodes remains unclear. Methods We examined the association of PTH levels and peritonitis incidence in a 7-year cohort of 270 incident PD patients who were maintained on dialysis between January 2012 and December 2018 using Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Patients were categorized into three groups by serum PTH levels as follows: low-PTH group, PTH < 150 pg/mL; middle-PTH group, PTH 150-300 pg/mL; high-PTH group, PTH > 300 pg/mL. Results During a median follow-up of 29.5 (interquartile range 16–49) months, the incidence rate of peritonitis was 0.10 episodes per patient-year. Gram-positive organisms were the most common causative microorganisms (36.2%), and higher percentage of Gram-negative organisms was noted in patients with low PTH levels. Low PTH levels were associated with older age, higher eGFR, higher hemoglobin, calcium levels and lower phosphate, alkaline phosphatase levels. After multivariate adjustment, lower PTH levels were identified as an independent risk factor for peritonitis episodes [hazard ratio 1.643, 95% confidence interval 1.014–2.663, P = 0.044]. Conclusions Low PTH levels are independently associated with peritonitis in incident PD patients.
