Objective. Assessment of cardiovascular risk in HIV-positive individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
Materials and methods. Screening for tuberculosis infection was performed in 395 patients with HIV infection followed-up in the AIDS Consultation and Diagnostic Department of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being. A positive result was obtained in 75 (19%) people. From these patients, the study group of 39 people with HIV and LTBI was formed. Control group included HIV-infected patients without LTBI, matching in gender, age, smoking status and antiretroviral therapy regimen with study group. Lipid profile parameters, ten-year risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events according to the SCORE2 scale, comorbidities, relative number of classical (CD14++CD16-), inflammatory (CD14++CD16+) and non-classical (CD14+CD16++) monocytes were analyzed in the groups.
Results. High risk according to the SCORE2 scale was found in 68% of the study group and 57% of the control group, very high risk – 28 and 32%, respectively. Arterial hypertension was found in 31% of the study group and 24% of the control group, metabolic syndrome – 17 and 5%. The CD14++CD16- monocytes level was higher than normal in 67% of patients in the sudy group and in 82% in the control group, and CD14+CD16++ were lower than normal in 97 and 100% of patients, respectively.
Conclusion. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups, however, it cannot be ruled out that LTBI is an additional factor contributing to atherogenesis in patients with HIV infection.
