Objective. To study the features of the oropharyngeal microbiota and systemic inflammation in HIV-infected patients during antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to assess the possibility of their correction with amino dihydrophthalazinedione sodium (ADPNa).
Subjects and methods. The investigation enrolled 100 HIV-infected patients who received ART. The concentration of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) was studied by ELISA. The composition of the oropharyngeal microbiota was determined on a VITEK-2 bacteriological analyzer by the compact disc diffusion method, as well as by mass spectrometry. The patients were randomized into 2 groups. In addition to standard ART, sublingual ADPNa tablets were prescribed for Group 1 patients. The efficiency of therapy was evaluated after 4 weeks according to the time course of changes in the concentration of LBP and in the composition of the oropharyngeal microflora.
Results. The vast majority of patients showed an overgrowth of opportunistic microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus and yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. When an immunomodulator with an anti-inflammatory effect of ADPNa was added to standard ART, there was a more rapid decrease in the blood concentration of LBP and in the number of potential pathogens in the oropharyngeal microbiota.
Conclusion. The cycle use of ADPNa reduces the activity of endotoxinemia and normalizes the oropharyngeal microbiota.
