The purpose of the research was to study the link between anemia of a chronic disease and microbial translocation in patients with HIV-infection. There were surveyed 63 patients with asiderotic anemia. Were determined endotoxin levels in serum, sCD14, anti-RE-glycolipid Salmonella minnesota and E. coli lipopolysaccharide O14. SCD14 and endotoxin levels in patients with anemia of chronic disease were significantly higher than those of the group with iron deficiency anemia, which can be regarded as a higher level of microbial translocation in the first group of patients. There was also found an inverse correlation with the level of hemoglobin concentration sCD14: r =-0,7; p=0,002. In the dynamics there were examined 16 patients with anemia of chronic disease after 4 weeks of therapy aimed at correction of hyperendotoxinemia and including probiotic, enterosorbent, diuretic and choleretic drugs. Treatment of patients showed improvement.In patients who did not receive antiretroviral therapy, there was a statistically significant decrease in the levels of endotoxin and IL-1β, and increase in hemoglobin. Thus, the development of anemia of chronic disease in HIV infection is partially explained by the phenomenon of microbial translocation.

Key words: HIV-infection, anemia, microbial translocation, endotoxin.
