Etiological Diagnosis of Infectious Coxitis Depending on the Patient's HIV Status

The objective: to develop the procedure for etiological diagnosis of infectious coxitis (IC) depending on patient's HIV status. Subjects and Methods. data medical records 97 patients with signs IC were analyzed. Patients divided into group their Results. time required diagnose was identified, it made 7.35 ± 1.30 months HIV-positive patients, 6.25 0.90 negative ( p > 0.05). developed be implemented when a patient complained pain in hip joint. infection suspected should undergo computed tomography (CT) joints, HIV-negative have CT done if joint X-ray is not informative. use HIV+ Group reduced diagnostic from 9.4 1.3 5.3 = 0.680), HIV- – 8.7 1.2 3.8 0.6 0.02). reason why took that long rare invasive methods at outpatient stage. Thus, puncture performed 2.7% cases, 10%. Trepanobiopsy hospital possible establish etiology all patients. efficacy microbiological tests case tuberculous 48.64% 30.0% Group, nonspecific 32.43% 30.0%, respectively.
