Acquired Immune Deficiency

AbstractThe acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic and other potentially fatal blood-borne infectious diseases have produced a heightened awareness for preventing accidental inoculation of surgeons and operating theatre staff. It is incumbent upon the head and neck surgeon to use safe and effective surgical technique in these patients to prevent such an event. We are seeing an increasing number of patients with AIDS and hepatitis undergoing tracheotomy. We present a sharps-free technique for tracheotomy which is safe for the hospital staff and the patient.

It might at first sight appear that old age psychiatrists and geriatricians are relatively well protected from having to deal with the problems of patients suffering from the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It is therefore perhaps surprising that the major article in the newsletter of the American Geriatric Society is devoted to AIDS and concludes that “there is no question that the AIDS epidemic is the most important world wide public health issue of this century”.

Paranoid Psychosis

A 34-year-old heterosexual intravenous drug abuser presented with a paranoid psychosis and was subsequently found to have the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The patient died 14 days later of generalised septicaemia. The case is reported and the aetiology and pathogenesis of the organic psychosis are discussed. It is anticipated that similar psychiatric manifestations will occur as the AIDS epidemic increases.
