Objective: Evaluation of clinical, biological, radiological characteristics, therapeutic management and outcome in patients with HIV / SARS-COV-2 co-infection.
Materials and Methods: Descriptive retrospective study of 14 files of patients with HIV / SARS-COV-2 co-infection confirmed by SARS-COV-2 PCR between April 2020 and May 2022 in the infectious diseases department of the University Hospital Mohamed VI Marrakech
Results: 14 patients were included, with a sex ratio M/F: 2.5. The mean age of our patients was 40.7 years. The clinical symptoms presented by our patients were: asthenia (71%); febrile pneumonia (64.20%); anosmia (46.6%); diarrhea (28.5%); and lower limb thrombophlebitis (7.14%). The HIV status was as follows: 9 new cases (64.2%), while HIV was already present in 5 patients (35.8%). On the radiological level, 10 patients had moderate damage (72%), 3 patients had mild damage (21%), while 1 patient had severe damage (7%). Our patients' treatment changed during the study period; in particular, one group of patients was treated with the national covid-19 therapeutic protocol, while others received molnupiravir. The outcome was overall good, with a clear clinical and biological improvement; and only 4 patients died.
Conclusion: The predisposition to SARS-COV2 infection as well as the clinical presentation and evolution of Covid 19 in PLHIV do not differ from the general population.
