We conducted a comparative analysis of the parenteral viral hepatitis B and C (HBV and HCV) prevalence and their molecular genetic characteristics among prisoners of persons diagnosed with HIV infection (41 samples), HIV-positive free citizens (187 samples) and «conditionally healthy population» with the lack of information about the presence of a diagnosis of chronic viral hepatitis of any etiology and HIV infection (231 samples). Immunological and molecular biological research methods were used. Obtained data analysis showed that the prevalence of infection markers with viruses of parenteral hepatitis was significantly higher in the groups of HIV-positive individuals (imprisoned and freemen). The HBsAg-negative form of the disease was determined among the HIV-positive free population and in the «conditionally healthy population». Over the past 10 years (2009–2018), the proportion of HIV-positive prisoners in custody of people with HCV monoinfection doubled, HBV was increased in 8.7 times. Significant decrease in the combined infection of HBV and HCV of this contingent was found. Given this decrease in the penitentiary system in HIV-positive individuals, the overall burden of HBV infection (both in mono form and coinfection with HCV) significantly (5.3 times) decreased , which can be attributed to successful widespread vaccination against hepatitis B in Russia. The most common HCV genotypes among HIV-positive individuals were 1b and 3a, genotypic structure of HBV prevailed genotype D.

Relevance. HIV-infection continues to be one of the unsolved issues of modern healthcare. In the Russian Federation, an annual increase in the number HIV-infected people including co-infected with HIV and viral hepatitis is registered. This is associated with common transmission mechanisms of the diseases. Objective: to conduct a retrospective analysis of the main HIV-infection epidemiological indices that included prevalence of viral hepatitis B and C among people living with HIV in the Far Eastern Federal district during years 2006–2018. Materials and methods: the conducted retrospective epidemiological analysis was based on evaluation of materials provided by AIDS prevention and control regional centers as well as in the official statistical data form № 61 «Data on HIVinfected contingents». Analysis of the obtained data included parametric and nonparametric statistics. Results. A deterioration of the epidemic situation concerning HIV-infection with and without viral hepatitis B and C was registered in the Far Eastern Federal district. The fraction of HIV-positive people aged 40 years and older increased up to 24.68 ± 0.26% in 2018. Feminization of HIV-infected population was observed. The fraction of HIV-positive women increased from 32.30 ± 0.50 % in 2006 to 36.82 ± 0.29% in 2018. The fraction of sexual transmission mechanism of the HIV has increased during the observed period of time and totaled 40.60 ± 0.30% in 2018. This fact plays a significant part in the spread of HIV in the Far Eastern Federal district. Conclusion. The revealed tendencies indicate a necessity of changing the preventive measures strategy against HIV.

Viral hepatitis B course in HIV patients in Zambia is still bad studied. At present, the study of the influence of immunosuppression on the clinical and laboratory features of viral hepatitis B acquires a special relevance. The aim of research is to investigate clinical and laboratory features of viral hepatitis B course among HIV-patients in Zambia. Epidemiological, descriptive, serological (HBV, HIV markers), biochemical (cytolysis and cholestasis syndromes’ indicators), statistic method for determining the reliability using average errors (m), t-criterion of the probability difference of the Student) methods are used. The results show HBV/HIV-positive Zambian patients reliably differ from HBV-monoinfected ones. As well, HBV/HIV-positive patients have significantly higher indexes of asteno-vegetatic, dyspeptic syndromes, hepato- and splenomegaly, cytolysis indexes (alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase), which are associated with increase of HIV-infection’s stage. Hepatocellular deficiency’s indicators don’t differ reliably in comparison groups. Therefore, HBV/HIV-infected patients have more severe clinical and laboratory course than HBV-monoinfected ones.

The study materials of 23 patients with COVID-19 with newly diagnosed tuberculosis at the late stages of HIV infection with an average CD4 + cells count not exceeding 30 cells/pl of blood and in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (the main group) and 23 patients with no COVID-19 (the comparison group) and the similar parameters are presented. The presence or absence of COVID-19 is characterized by social maladjustment, drug addiction, concomitant viral hepatitis B or C and COPD, generalized tuberculosis with extrapulmonary damage of various organs and the development of other opportunistic pulmonary infections, similar clinical and radiological manifestations, which can only be differentiated by microbiological and molecular genetic research methods. To prevent exogenous infection of the healthy population with COVID-19, it is imperative to organize an active regular examination of all patients with tuberculosis and HIV infection for COVID-19, especially at the later stages, in the TB care office for HIV-infected people at TB dispensaries.

From all group of infectious pathology viral hepatitises, from which the most priority are the parenteral hepatitises B and С, are essential for health of mankind, also the Irkutsk region isn’t an exception.The aim of the study:to assess an epidemiological situation in sharp and chronic forms of the viral hepatitises B and С in the territory of the Irkutsk region for the long-term period.Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis of an epidemiological situation on viral hepatitises B and C in Russia, Siberian Federal District and in the Irkutsk region for 2008–2016 is carried out.Results.The expressed decrease in incidence of acute viral hepatitis B is noted, at a chronic form of this disease rates of decrease had less expressed character that can be connected with carrying out by mass vaccinal prevention. The carried-out ranged distribution of territories for all forms of viral hepatitis B and viral hepatitis C in the Irkutsk region has allowed to reveal territories of risk.Conclusion.Parenteral viral hepatitises (sharp and chronic forms) are widespread in the territory of the Irkutsk region. From 43 administrative territories of the area, 24 belong to unsuccessful on incidences from which five are to territories of high epidemiological risk: cities of Irkutsk, Angarsk and Ust-Ilimsk and also Katangsky and Shelekhovsky districts.

Сombination of tuberculosis and viral hepatitis have been registered 2525 newly identified patients in Saint-Petersburg for the period 2006–2017. Some of these patients have been infected with HIV. Fatal outcome in 625 (24,7%) was noted. Patients with tuberculosis and chronic viral hepatitis have had a combination of viral hepatitis B and C in 36% of cases. Patients with combination tuberculosis and chronic hepatitis of unknown etiology experienced a more frequent death (60%) than patients with combination tuberculosis and other chronic viral hepatitis. In patients with concurrent tuberculosis, chronic viral hepatitis and HIV infection, patients infected viral hepatitis B and C were 31,6%. In 160 patients with fatal outcomes had a combination of infections (tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and HIV infection), the mortality rate of persons with hepatitis of unknown etiology was the lowest (42%), compared with a group of individuals affected by viral hepatitis B and C simultaneously (83%). Among patients with tuberculosis, chronic hepatitis and HIV infection, the highest incidence of tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes and disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis was registered. Lethal outcomes most often occur in individuals with advanced tuberculosis, in whom the secretion of mycobacteria tuberculosis into the external environment has not been established. Given the high level of mortality in patients with simultaneous defeat of tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and HIV infection, it is necessary to establish their centralized registration in order to study the epidemiological patterns and clinical features of co-infections.
