Summary: | On 01.07.2019, more than 1, 000 children were diagnosed with HIV infection in the Sverdlovsk region. Studies on the prevalence of dermatoses in HIV-positive children indicate a high incidence of viral, fungal and bacterial infections of the skin, compared with HIV-negative children. The skin is the environment in which a diverse community of microorganisms (microbiota) lives. The Global Human Microbiome Project proved the uniqueness of the human microbiome, and suggests to study the effect of human immunity on the formation of microbiome diversity models. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of S. aureus, S. spp., C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. tropicalis / C. parapsilosis as a part of skin microbiota in HIV-positive children by polymerase chain reaction.
