Classification of HIV infection
WHO recommends distinguishing four stages of the disease:
- initial (acute);
- persistent generalized lymphadenopathy;
- AIDS-associated complex as pre-AIDS;
- full-blown AIDS.
In addition, recently it has been proposed to identify a 5th stage of the disease - AIDS dementia.
In Ukraine, the clinical classification of HIV infection by V.I. Pokrovsky (1989) has been adopted:
- I. Incubation stage;
- II. Stage of primary manifestations;
- A. Acute febrile phase,
- B. Asymptomatic phase,
- B. Persistent generalized lymphadenopathy.
- III. Stage of secondary diseases:
- A. Weight loss of less than 10%, superficial fungal, viral, bacterial lesions of the skin and mucous membranes; herpes zoster; recurrent pharyngitis, sinusitis.
- B. Progressive weight loss of more than 10%; unexplained diarrhea or fever for more than 1 month; hairy leukoplakia; pulmonary tuberculosis; recurrent or persistent bacterial, fungal, viral, protozoal lesions of internal organs (without dissemination) or deep lesions of the skin and mucous membranes; recurrent or disseminated herpes zoster; localized Kaposi's sarcoma.
- B. Generalized bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoal and parasitic diseases; Pneumocystis pneumonia; esophageal candidiasis; atypical mycobacteriosis; extrapulmonary tuberculosis; cachexia; disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma; central nervous system lesions of various etiologies.
- IV. Terminal stage.
In young children, the following stages of the disease are consistently identified:
- subclinical;
- lymphadenopathic;
- localized opportunistic infections;
- generalized opportunistic infections.
At the subclinical stage, clinical manifestations of HIV infection are completely absent.
