Resumo

The present meta-analysis evaluated the use of medicinal plants, phytotherapics and/or phytopharmaceuticals associated or not to antiretroviral therapy, using as primary outcome the lymphocyte count, and, among which, the CD4count. Studies were considered eligible for the present systematic review if they comprised the following criteria: randomized clinical trials using as intervention medicinal plants, phytotherapics, and/or phytopharmaceuticals associated or not with antiretroviral therapy. The search strategy included terms related to the intervention (medicinal plants, medicinal plants extracts, phytotherapics, and/or phytopharmaceuticals associated or not with antiretroviral therapy), to the primary outcome (in which was verified if there was a decreasing in lymphocytes, among which CD4+ cells), as well as terms that were used to improve sensitivity in a search for clinical trials. From 2.747 records of potential relevance identified on the databases, remaining two eligible randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials. The present systematic review and meta-analysis showed on the forest plot that there was no difference between control and intervention groups when the two included studies were taken into consideration.
