SURGICAL TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS IN HIV PATIENTS
Abstract
The objective of the study: to study the outcomes of surgical treatment of tuberculosis in HIV patients.Subjects and methods. Surgery outcomes in 345 HIV patients with respiratory tuberculosis were analyzed; totally, 355 surgeries were performed on them. Minor surgeries (189/355; 53.2%) done due to emergency reasons were performed in 181 patients, mostly in those with severe immune suppression. 164 patients had planned surgeries (166/355; 46.8%) mostly due to tuberculosis and its complications.Results. In 345 operated patients, post-operative complications related to surgery made 2.0%, complications not related directly to surgery made 1.2%, and lethal outcomes made 0.9%. Surgery resections were successful even in the patients receiving no antiretroviral therapy with severe immune suppression. All 3 lethal outcomes occurred in the patients with CD4+ count below 200 cell/mcl and they made 2.3% among such patients.
