Differentialtherapie bei psychiatrischer Komorbidität
Publizierte Artikel der Experten in Suchtmedizin in Forschung und Praxis 2008; 10 (S1):
Diagnostik bei HIV-infizierten i.v. Drogenkonsumenten
Differentialtherapie bei psychiatrischer
Wechselwirkungen zwischen antiretroviraler Therapie (ART)
Nebenwirkungen der antiretroviralen Therapie bei
Management von opioidabhängigen Patienten
Dem Text liegen nachstehende Definitionen und Begriffe zugrunde:
„intravenös Drogenabhängige“ (IVDA) meint alle Patienten, die früher intravenös
Drogen konsumiert haben oder aktuell konsumieren.
Definition von integriertem Setting: intaktes Netzwerk von psychiatrisch und
infektiologisch erfahrenen Suchtmedizinern möglichst an einem Ort.
Hinsichtlich der Diagnostik und Therapie der HIV-Infektion werden die jeweils bestehenden
Deutsch-Österreichischen Leitlinien sowie die europäischen Leitlinien der European AIDS
Clinical Society zur Behandlung der HIV-Infektion bei Erwachsenen zu Grunde gelegt.
Bei Initialtherapie werden derzeit die europäischen Leitlinien herangezogen.
1Wie hoch sind Prävalenz und Inzidenz der HIV-Infektion unter IVDA?
Welche Präventionsmassnahmen sind sinnvoll?
Empfehlung
Die Aufklärung von IVDA über die Verhinderung von HIV- und Hepatitis B und C-Infektionen
muss sowohl „safer use“ als auch „safer sex“ beinhalten
Eine niedrigschwellige Verfügbarkeit von sterilen Injektionsutensilien wie z.B. über Nadel-
Spritzen-Austauschprogramme reduziert die HIV-Inzidenz unter Drogenabhängigen und sollte
flächendeckend und auch in Haftanstalten angeboten werden (A).
Die Substitutionsbehandlung verhindert HIV-Neuinfektionen unter IVDA und soll als
Kassenleistung flächendeckend angeboten werden (A).
Konsens: 1. Satz 100%, 2. Satz 96,2%, 3. Satz 100%
Repräsentative nationale oder regionale Studien zur Prävalenz und Inzidenz von Infektionen mit
HIV und Hepatitis B- und C-Viren bei IVDU wurden in Deutschland bislang nicht durchgeführt.
Alle Daten zur Prävalenz und Inzidenz beziehen sich daher auf mehr oder weniger stark
selektierte Subpopulationen oder es handelt sich um Schätzungen.
Die Angaben zur HIV-Prävalenz unter IVDA sind je nach Untersuchungspopulation und Region
sehr unterschiedlich (A). In Deutschland betragen sie zwischen 5% in München und 50% in
Das Robert Koch-Institut schätzt die Gesamtzahl der aktuell mit HIV in Deutschland lebenden
Personen, die sich im Kontext von intravenösem Drogenkonsum mit HIV infiziert haben, auf
derzeit ca. 7.000 Personen. Der Nenner, auf den diese Zahl bezogen werden müsste, ist nicht klar
quantifizierbar. Nicht alle Personen, die sich im Kontext von intravenösem Drogenkonsum mit
HIV infiziert haben, sind auch aktuell noch aktive Drogenkonsumenten, und zur Gesamtzahl der
aktiv intravenös Drogen konsumierenden Personen in Deutschland liegen unterschiedliche
Schätzungen vor. Die Zahl der HIV-Neuinfektionen pro Jahr, die auf intravenösen
Drogenkonsum zurückzuführen sind, wird auf aktuell knapp über 200 geschätzt. Ein Teil dieser
Infektionen könnte allerdings auch durch sexuelle Übertragungen bedingt sein.
In besonders stark betroffenen Regionen osteuropäischer Länder wurden in lokalen Populationen
von aktiven Drogenkonsumenten HIV-Prävalenzraten von bis zu über 90% beschrieben (B).
Weltweit betreffen 10% aller HIV-Neuinfektionen IVDU, in Deutschland sind es aktuell ca. 7%
(B). In osteuropäischen und asiatischen Ländern wird die HIV-Epidemie wesentlich durch IVDA
Weltweit wird die Zahl von IVDA auf 13 Millionen Menschen geschätzt (Aceijas et al. 2004).
HIV-Epidemien, die durch IVDA vorangetrieben werden, sind vor allem in Osteuropa,
Zentralasien, Südostasien und China zu beobachten (Platt et al. 2006, UNAIDS 2006, Dehne et
al. 1999). In Deutschland ist die Gruppe der IVDA seit mehr als 10 Jahren mit 13% die
viertgrößte Gruppe hinsichtlich Neuinfektionen (Hamouda et al. 2007). Das gemeinsame
Benutzen von Nadeln und Spritzen birgt das größte Risiko einer HIV-Transmission bei IVDA
und kann effektiv durch Spritzen und Nadel-Austauschprogramme vermindert werden (Johnson
et al. 2002, WHO 2007). Zusätzlich sind IVDU durch sexuelle Übertragung des HI-Virus
gefährdet, insbesondere dann, wenn sich die HIV-Infektion in der IVDU-Population etabliert
hat und/oder durch erhöhtes Risikoverhalten nach Drogeneinnahme (Backmund et al. 2005,

3Wann sollen IVDA mit einer HIV-Infektion antiretroviral behandelt werden?
Empfehlung
Ehemalige IVDA und IVDA, die sich in einer stabilen Substitutionsbehandlung befinden, sollen
nach den gleichen Kriterien und zum gleichen Zeitpunkt wie Nicht-IVDA eine antiretrovirale
Bei IVDA, die sich in einer nicht stabilen Substitutionsbehandlung befinden (Termine nicht
zuverlässig einhalten können, unregelmäßig kommen) soll vor einer antiretroviralen Therapie u.a.
mit Hilfe der psychosozialen Betreuung versucht werden, die Patientin/den Patienten in eine
stabile Substitutionsbehandlung zu bringen (A).
IVDA, die keine Substitutionsbehandlung erhalten, sollen vor Beginn einer HIV-Therapie in eine
stabile Substitutionsbehandlung gebracht werden (A). IVDA, die eine HIV-Therapie wünschen,
bei denen die Indikation zu einer solchen besteht und die keine Substitutionsbehandlung
wünschen, ist eine HIV-Therapie anzubieten (A).
Alle anerkannten Behandlungsrichtlinien empfehlen für IVDA keinen abweichenden
Behandlungszeitpunkt für den Beginn einer antiretroviralen Therapie (ART) (European AIDS
Clinical Society 2007, (Deutsch-Österreichische AIDS-Gesellschaft 2008, Panel on Antiretroviral
Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents 2008, WHO 2007). Sie weisen darauf hin, dass eine gute
Therapieadhärenz angestrebt werden soll (Deutsch-Österreichische AIDS-Gesellschaft 2008,
Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents 2008, WHO 2007). Das beste
Setting für die Behandlung chronischer Erkrankungen bei IVDA stellt die
Substitutionsbehandlung dar (Backmund et al. 2001, Backmund et al. 2005, Backmund 2007).
Allen HIV-Patienten soll bei entsprechender Indikation eine HIV-Therapie angeboten bzw.
ermöglicht werden (WHO 2007, Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents
In der Fachwelt ist unbestritten, dass ein Immunstatus mit weniger 200 CD4-Zellen/µl eine
dringliche Indikation zur antiretroviralen Therapie darstellt (Übersicht bei Hoffmann et al. 2007,
Huber 2008, Deutsch-Österreichische AIDS-Gesellschaft 2008). Symptomatische Patientinnen
und Patienten und schwangere Patientinnen sollten unabhängig von der CD4-Zellzahl therapiert
werden, wobei eine opportunistische Infektion in der Regel vor Beginn der antiretroviralen
Therapie behandelt werden muss, um ein Immunrekonstitutions-Syndrom (IRIS) zu verhindern.

4Gibt es Besonderheiten bei der Initialtherapie?
Empfehlung

Konsensus: 1., 2. Satz 100%, 3. Satz 88,6%
Da während der Substitutionsbehandlung in der Regel die Patientinnen und Patienten täglich
vom Arzt oder dem medizinischen Personal gesehen werden, kann eine Koppelung der
Einnahme der ART an die Substitutionsmittelvergabe zu einer sehr hohen Adhärenz führen

5Wie soll bei psychiatrischer Komorbidität vorgegangen werden?
Empfehlung
Der bei der initialen Diagnostik erhobene psychopathologische Befund soll im Verlauf
Psychiatrische Erkrankungen wie bipolare Störungen und Erkrankungen aus dem schizophrenen
Formenkreis müssen medikamentös und psychotherapeutisch behandelt werden (A).
Antidepressiva der ersten Wahl sind SSRI, insbesondere Citalopram und Escitalopram (C).
Zur Behandlung der Schizophrenie sollten primär atypische Neuroleptika eingesetzt werden (C).
Konsens: 1. Satz 96,2%, 2. Satz 92,3%, 3. Satz 87%, 4. Satz 85,7%
IVDA leiden sehr häufig zusätzlich an psychiatrischen Erkrankungen (Krausz 2008, Krausz et al.
1998). Inwieweit Antidepressiva und/oder Neuroleptika bei gleichzeitiger Gabe von Opioiden
wirken, ist noch kaum untersucht worden. Die wenigen Studien kommen zu unterschiedlichen
Ergebnissen. Citalopram allein oder in Kombination mit Bupropion scheint bei mit Methadon
behandelten Patienten hinsichtlich der Therapie der Depression nicht erfolgreich zu sein (Poling
et al. 2007). Eine ältere Arbeit zeigte keine Wirkung von Fluoxetin in der Therapie depressiver
Patienten während einer Methadonsubstitutionsbehandlung (Petrakis et al. 1998). Eine neuere
Arbeit konnte hingegen zeigen, dass eine Reduktion des Benzodiazepinkonsums bei Steigerung
der Psychopharmakotherapie zu einer Verminderung der depressiven Symptomatik bei mit
Methadon behandelten Patienten führte (Schreiber et al. 2008). Auch für die Behandlung
suchtkranker Menschen, die zusätzlich an einer Psychose erkrankt sind, liegen praktisch keine
randomisierten Studien vor. Empfohlen wird der Einsatz von atypischen Neuroleptika, z.B. von
Clozapin und Quetiapin (Potvin et al. 2006, San et al. 2007, Hanley et Kenna 2008).

6Welche Wechselwirkungen sind zu beachten?
Empfehlung
IVDA, die im Rahmen einer Substitutionsbehandlung antiretroviral behandelt werden, müssen
engmaschig auf Entzugs- und/oder Intoxikationssymptome beobachtet werden (A).
Bei Auftreten von Entzugs- und/oder Intoxikationssymtomen muss die Dosis des
Substitutionsmittels angepasst werden (A).
Sowohl Methadon als auch Buprenorphin werden über das Cytochrom P450-System
metabolisiert. Bei der HIV-Therapie müssen daher die Interaktionen von Methadon und
Buprenorphin beachtet werden. Es kann zu Enzyminduktion und Enzyminhibition kommen. Je
nachdem kann dies dazu führen, dass das eine Medikament überdosiert und das andere
unterdosiert ist (Übersicht bei Klinker 2008, Tabelle 1 und 2). Vor allem die Wechselwirkungen
zwischen Methadon und den beiden Nicht Nukleosidischen Reverse Transkriptase Inhibitoren
(NNRTI) Efavirenz und Nevirapin müssen berücksichtigt werden. Pharmakologische und
klinische Studien haben gezeigt, dass es zu einer deutlichen Wirkminderung von Methadon
kommen kann (Altice et al. 1999, Ottero et al. 1999, Clarke et al. 2001, Marzolini et al. 2000,
Clarke et al. 2001). Dadurch können nach wenigen Tagen Entzugssymptome entstehen. Um diese
zu verhindern, muss die Methadondosis teilweise um bis zu 50% gesteigert werden (Ottero et al.

7Gibt es speziell zu beachtende Nebenwirkungen?
Empfehlung
Die frühen Nebenwirkungen sind bei der Therapie von IVDU ähnlich wie bei anderen Patienten
Die Hepatotoxizität verschiedener HIV-Medikamente muss vor allem bei den sehr häufig HCV-
koinfizierten IVDU berücksichtigt werden (C).
Konsensus: 1. Satz 95,8%, 2. Satz 100%.
Generell wurde in den letzten Jahren darauf geachtet, die Nebenwirkungen zu therapieren um die
Adhärenz zu erhöhen. 90% der HIV-infizierten IVDU sind HCV-koinfiziert. ( ). Ob bestimmte
Medikamente wie zum Beispiel Nevirapin oder aber die HIV-Therapie insgesamt die Progression
einer Leberfibrose bei HIV/HCV –infizierten Patienten begünstigt, unbeeinflusst lässt oder aber
verhindert, wird in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur noch kontrovers diskutiert (Macias et al.
2006, Berenger et al. 2008, Macias et al. 2004, Qurishi et al. 2003). Zu berücksichtigen ist, dass
