The analysis of HIV-1 variants circulating among drug addicts in 16 settlements of the Sverdlov, Chelyabinsk and Orenburg regions (72, 90 and 42 patients respectively) was carried out. As shown by the serological analysis, the spread of HIV-1 variant IDU-A among the drug addicts in this area continued in this area and could be detected in 99.5% of the samples (203 out of 204 samples). These data were confirmed by the results of the analysis of 35 samples by the Heteroduplex Mobility Assay for genes env and gag. The analysis of nucleotide sequences of gene env revealed that HIV-1 variants in the Southern Urals, where the greatest outbreak of HIV infection in Russia had been registered, were genetically related to viruses of subtype A, detected earlier in this group of risk in other regions of Russia, as well as in Ukraine, Belarus and other East European countries.

Background: Reporting serious adverse events (SAEs) is crucial to reduce or avoid toxicities that can lead to major consequences for patient's health due to treatments tested in clinical trials. Its exhaustiveness is often inadequate, and we observe discrepancies between data published by pharmacovigilance organizations and clinical databases.

Objectives: While the process of reconciliation aims at reducing these differences, it remains a very time-consuming and imprecise task.
