Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of the study was to describe the findings on ultrasonography in HIV/AIDS patients in civil hospital Rajkot during period of six month. A Prospective evaluation of the abdominal ultrasonography of 300 HIV-positive patients was carried out at the Civl Hospital, Rajkot. Of the 300 cases studied, 210 (70%) were males and 90(30%) were females; the mean age was 38 years, (range 15–65 years). The disease was most prevalent in the 3rd decade with an incidence of 41%. The HIV+ group of patients had a significantly higher proportion of lymphadenopathy (18%), splenomegaly (12%), splenic infiltration (9%), hepatomegaly (7%) and renal abnormalities (5%). There were significantly fewer gallstones in the HIV+ group (2%). The use of ultrasound as a baseline imaging modality in HIV-infected patients should be promoted. Its use is invaluable in the assessment of the disease state and in the monitoring of therapy and management of these immunocompromised individuals.
