Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of nutritional support on immunity function in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients.

Methods: Sixty-five AIDS patients were randomly divided into treatment group (n=35) and control group (n=30). In the treatment group, the patients received enteral nutrition (EN) treatment or EN supplemented with parenteral nutrition (EN+PN) on top of routine treatment according to the daily condition of the sufferers. The control group received routine treatment only. CD3, CD4 and CD8 cell, CD4/CD8, C3, C4, immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, IgA were determined on the 0 and 30th day of the treatment, and they were analyzed with covariance analysis.

Results: CD4 cell in the treatment group was significantly raised compared with before examination (P<0.05). Other immunity indexes were not correlated. All clinical indexes showed no change in the control group (all P>0.05).

Conclusion: The nutritional support can raise the immunity function in the AIDS patient.
