Abstract
The aim of this study was to diagnose and to describe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in HIVinfected persons serving sentence in the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FPS) of Kirov region.
Methods. This was a crosssectional nonrandomised singlecenter study involving 30 HIVpositive hospitalised patients in a FPS medical institution. Clinical examination, chest Xray, MRC scale, CATtest, Fagerström test, CCQ questionnaire, and lung function tests were used in all patients.
Results. Almost a half of patients (16 of 30) had FEV1 / FVC < 70%. Those patients with were more likely to have COPD according to COPD questionnaire.
Conclusions. COPD is underdiagnosed in penitentiary medical institutions. Clinical findings are not sufficient to support this diagnosis. If spirometry is not available, COPD questionnaire could be useful to screening for COPD.
