Optimization of Therapeutic Measurements in Rotavirus Infection in Infants with Perinatal Exposure to HIV
Abstract
The features of the clinical course of rotavirus infection in infants with perinatal exposure to HIV were studied. Serum level of procalcitonin as a marker of inflammatory activity and the need for antimicrobial therapy was determined. The efficiency of the proposed additions to basic treatment (low-lactose mixture for two months, antibiotic therapy in case of elevated procalcitonin level) was demonstrated.
