Abstract
Chemo-resistant tuberculosis in combination with HIV infection is one of the most difficult problems of modern phthisiology. Of particular interest is the contingent of patients with MDR TB/HIV with a level of CD 4 in blood plasma below 50 cells/µl, indicating the progression of HIV, and the development of severe immunosuppression in the patient’s body. Such patients are more likely to have severe, generalized forms with multiple organ lesions, extra-pulmonary localizations tuberculosis (TB).We represent a clinical case of a patient V., 27 years old. Clinical diagnosis: В-20 HIV-infection IV clinical stage. A19.0 MDR TB (24.07.2015), both lungs (disseminated) desctuction + (infiltrative phase) tuberculosis of the intrathoracic and intraabdominal lymph nodes, intestinal tuberculosis; mbt + mg + rif + m + c + resist 1 + (HRES) resist 2 + (Et) hist 0 cat 4 (new case) coh 2 (2015).Complications: respiratory failure, type 1. Secondary anemia, severe course. Cachexia. Severe immunosuppression. Polyorganic insufficiency.Concomitant diseases: еxfoliative dermatitis. Thrombocytopenic purpura. Oropharyngeal candidiasis. Primary hypothyroidism, moderate, decompensation. Toxic Hepatitis. Stage 2 of chronic renal disease. Encephalopathy. Neuroretinitis of the viral genesis (CMV, Toxo, Rub). Genital herpes. Amenorrhea.The patient received with the standard treatment the intravenous immunoglobulin G, as a pathogenic effect, at a rate of 4 ml/kg intravenously in two steps. It was introduced slowly (30 drops/ minute) and after 5 pm.Conclusions. As a result of the use of the intravenous immunoglobulin (Ig G) in combination with the standard regimens of second-line anti-TB drugs and antiretroviral therapy, improved clinical features and laboratory data and reduced manifestations of the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
