Аssessment of the influence of enterosorbents on diarrhea syndrome in HIV-infected children

Abstract

Summary: Purpose of the study: To conduct a comparative assessment of the effect of various enterosorbents on diarrhea syndrome in HIV-infected children. Materials and methods of research: 96 HIV-infected children with diarrhea aged 7-18 years were examined. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, virological, immunological, bacteriological, serological and statistical methods. Results of the study: In HIV-infected children with acute diarrhea, after using enterosorbents, moderate and severe degrees of dehydration significantly decreased, especially when using the drug Enterosgel . When treating acute diarrhea in HIV- infected children with Enterosgel, a significant decrease in the daily number and duration of diarrhea episodes is observed, which leads to the disappearance of signs of dehydration. The watery, liquid and mushy consistency of the stool after using Enterosgel acquired a formalized appearance.
