Principles of therapeutic strategy for neurological syndromes in HIV patients

Abstract

The study was based on data from 103 patients with HIV infection (54.4% of women and 45.6% of men) dispensary registered, aged from 20 to 45 years old. Neuropsychological studies of patients with HIV infection were carried out using special tests, such as: Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), 7 subtests, Schulte table, and “Incomplete Outlines of Objects” The efficacy of citicoline (1000 mg / day) when added to basic HIV treatment was studied in 53 patients. The comparison group consisted of 50 HIV patients who did not receive neuroprotective therapy. The efficacy of treatment was assessed according to the CGI clinical scale (the scale of the overall clinical impression - Clinical Global Impression).
