Study of Surgical Disease Spectrum in Retro-Virus Infected Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Retroviral disease is a common condition in developing countries. Patients affected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are admitted in hospitals for conditions related or unrelated to HIV. This study was done to assess surgical disease spectrum in HIV infected patients and their common clinical features. A prospective observational study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital. All retroviral patients with surgical illness and above 13 years of age irrespective of their sex were enrolled after their consent. They were investigated, treated and observed in relation to response to treatment till their recovery. The study found infectious diseases as most common condition and most of them requiring emergency surgical intervention along with a good antibiotic coverage. The severity of the presentation is related to the duration of the complaints, as in non-HIV patients but also to CD4 count in this group of patients.
