Abstract.Moodley M, Moodley J. Choriocarcinoma and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection: a case report.The appropriate management of gynecological malignancies in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients is uncertain. Gestational trophoblastic disease is highly curable and occurs predominantly among young females. However, such patients are often immunocompromised and cytotoxic agents may further compromise immunity. This case report demonstrates the successful management of choriocarcinoma in a HIV-infected patient.

Nephrotic Range Proteinuria

The most common renal manifestation of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is HIV associated nephropathy (HIVAN). In this report, we describe a case that was referred for evaluation of proteinuria. Diagnostic workup revealed HIV infection with membranous nephropathy (MN). As he had sub-nephrotic range proteinuria and normal renal function we did not start any treatment for membranous nephropathy and for anti-retroviral therapy he was sent to a referral center. Being an uncommon variety of nephropathy in HIV infected patient in one of the lowest HIV prevalent country, we are reporting the case.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v16i1.22408 J MEDICINE 2015; 16 : 61-63

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) encompasses a spectrum of conditions ranging from hydatidiform mole to choriocarcinoma. The management of GTD in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is complicated by the interaction between chemotherapy, antiretroviral therapy, and poor performance status due to HIV-related illnesses. This study describes the profile of mortality of women with GTD in the background of HIV infection. A total of 78 patients with GTD were reviewed retrospectively. There were 53 patients with invasive molar pregnancy and 23 patients with choriocarcinoma. The HIV seroprevalence was 31%. There were 15 deaths (19%). There were 8 HIV-infected (33%) and 7 HIV noninfected (13%) who demised. Of the 8 patients with CD4 counts less than 200 cells/μL, 7 patients demised. There were no mortalities among patients with CD4 counts more than 200 cells/μL. Of the 15 deaths, 5 HIV-infected patients and 5 HIV-noninfected patients received chemotherapy. There were 5 patients admitted in very poor general condition precluding the administration of chemotherapy. Among the 10 patients that received chemotherapy and demised, the causes of death included widespread disease, multiorgan failure, and toxicity due to chemotherapy. These findings highlight the poor outcomes of HIV-infected women with CD4 counts less than 200 cells/μL due to poor tolerance to chemotherapy or poor performance status precluding administration of chemotherapy.

Large Vessels

A new form of aneurysmal dilatation of large vessels is becoming known in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We present a case report of a patient with this anomaly and discuss the radiological dilemmas involved in the diagnosis of the disease. This case highlights the need for computed tomography (CT) angiography as the imaging medium of choice.
