AB The analyse of neopterin (NPT), beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-M) and
immunoglobulin A (IgA) in active and passive intravenous drug users was
made to show the influence of intravenous drug taking on the level of so
called prognostic markers in the serum of HIV infected persons. The
intravenous drug users remained in the same, symptom-free stage of
infection. The level of NPT in active drug users was higher than in
passive drug users (statistically essential difference). In both
analysed groups the level of NPT considerably exceeded the norm range
(10 nmol/l). The differences in beta 2-M concentrations between analysed
groups were not statistically essential, although higher values were
observed in active drug users. The concentration of IgA in analysed
persons were within the norm range. Current life conditions of the
HIV-infected persons should be taken into consideration when estimating
prognostic values of analysed indices.
