Ozonoterapia en SIDA Ozone therapy in AIDS
Abstract
Se estudió un paciente SIDA IIIc con fatiga, síndrome de mala absorción intestinal, polineuropatía, anemia, con glucosa, creatinina y tiempo de protombina elevados, conteo CD4 en 37 células carga viral en 2 400 000/mL, el cual venía recibiendo un cóctel de triple terapia retroviral, anemia de 10 g/L. Se le administró un ciclo de ozono por vía rectal, a dosis de 5 mg, junto con interferón, factor de transferencia y eritropoyetina recombinante. Al término del tratamiento se le realizó una evaluación final donde se encontró que desaparecieron la fatiga, las diarreas, la deshidratación y la anemia, aumentando 8 kg de peso y se normalizaron los valores de glucosa, creatinina y tiempo de protombina. Después de 3 meses de finalizado el tratamiento con ozono, continuando con la administración ininterrumpida de interferones y una tetraterapia antirretroviral, el conteo CD4 aumentó a 546 con 30 % y la carga viral disminuyó a 1 700/mL. Se valoró el efecto del ozono como inmunomodulador y antimicrobiano potente en pacientes VIH/SIDAAn AIDS IIIc patient with fatigue, syndrome of intestinal malabsorption, polyneuropathy, anemia, elevated glocuse, creatinin and prothrombine time, CD4 count in 37 cells and viral burden in 2 400 000/mL, and anemia of 10 g/L, was studied. He had been receiving a cocktail of triple retroviral therapy. He was administered a cycle of ozone by rectal route at a dose of 5 mg together with interferon, transference factor and recombinat erythropoietin. On concluding the treatment, a final evaluation was made and it was found that fatigue, diarrheas, dehydration and anemia had disappeared.He has gained 8 pounds of weight and the values of glucose, creatinin and prothrombin time had become normal. He continued receiving uninterruptedly interferons and antiretroviral therapy and 3 months later it was observed that the CD4 count increased to 546 with 30 % and the viral burden decreased to 1700/mL. The effect of ozone as a potent immunomodulator and germicide in HIV/AIDS patients was evaluated
