Resumen:
El virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) puede llegar a producir alteraciones cognitivas que interfieren de forma significativa en la vida diaria de las personas que lo padecen. Estos déficits pueden incrementarse cuando existe historia previa de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar el perfil neuropsicológico de un grupo de pacientes con VIH e historia previa de consumo de drogas y compararlo con un grupo de pacientes ex drogodependientes seronegativos. Se administró una batería neuropsicológica a una muestra de 28 sujetos españoles, 14 con VIH y 14 seronegativos, donde se evaluaron los 8 dominios cognitivos que suelen estar más afectados en el VIH: atención/memoria de trabajo, velocidad de procesamiento de la información, memoria/aprendizaje, abstracción/función ejecutiva, lenguaje/verbal y habilidades motoras. Los resultados mostraron peor ejecución del grupo con VIH en todos los dominios cognitivos. El menor rendimiento neuropsicológico del grupo con VIH podría deberse presumiblemente a la acción del virus. Independientemente de cuál sea la etiología del deterioro cognitivo, lo importante es detectar los déficits neuropsicológicos de la forma más precoz posible para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes mediante la intervención neuropsicológica.
Descripción:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can result in cognitive disorders that significantly interfere with the daily activities of HIV patients. These disorders may be worse when there is a history of psychoactive substance use. Our objective is to assess the neuropsychological profile in a group of HIV patients with previous drug use compared to a group of HIV-negative patients with a history of drug use. The study included a total of 28 Spanish adult subjects, of which 14 were HIV-infected and 14 were HIV-negative. The subjects were assessed using a neuropsychological test battery to evaluate the following 8 most commonly affected cognitive domains in people with HIV: attention and working memory, speed of information processing, memory and learning capacity, abstract thinking and executive functions, speech and language skills, and psychomotor skills. The results showed a worse performance in all the cognitive areas among HIV patients as compared to HIV-negative patients. The worse performance of this group could be a result of the viral infection. Regardless of the cognitive impairment a etiology, the key task here is to diagnose neuropsychological deficits as soon as possible in order to improve the quality of life of HIV patients through neuropsychological intervention.
