The common causes of abnormal liver chemistries in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients are multifactorial. Diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in HIV infected patients is intriguing but data is scarce. Unmasking of AIH during immune reconstitution in HIV patients after starting antiretroviral therapy is reported but not with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Here we present a fascinating case of 32-year-old African-American man with advanced AIDS who presented with elevated transaminases. He was diagnosed with AIH before starting antiretroviral therapy and successfully treated with prednisolone and azathioprine with antiretroviral therapy despite very low CD4 count.

Perilaku seksual beresiko merupakan suatu aktivitas seksual berkaitan dengan hubungan seks yang dilakukan individu dengan pasangan seksnya sehingga rentan tertular penyakit menular seksual seperti HIV/AIDS. Penyakit HIV/AIDS merupakan suatu penyakit yang terus berkembang dan menjadi masalah global yang melanda dunia. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) yaitu virus yang memperlemah kekebalan tubuh pada manusia. Sedangkan Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome atau Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) adalah sekumpulan gejala dan infeksi (atau sindrom) yang timbul karena rusaknya sistem kekebalan tubuh manusia akibat infeksi virus HIV, atau infeksi virus-virus lain yang mirip yang menyerang spesies lainnya. Penyakit HIV/AIDS telah menjadi pandemi yang mengkhawatirkan masyarakat dunia karena disamping belum ditemukan obat dan vaksin untuk pencegahan, penyakit ini memiliki window periode dan fase asimtomatik (tanpa gejala) yang relatif panjang dalam perjalanan penyakitnya. Berdasarkan angka kejadian kasus HIV/AIDS terdapat peningkatan diseluruh dunia, termasuk indonesia. Salah satu hal yang dianggap menjadi sumber penyebaran HIV/AIDS adalah perilau seks beresiko. Pemberian penyuluhan sebagai upaya penyebarluasan informasi mengenai HIV/AIDS guna peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat diharapkan dapat menimbulkan sikap positif masyarakat terhadap HIV. Adapun penyampaian informasi dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai metode misalnya pendidikan kesehatan yang diberikan oleh tenaga kesehatan dapat berupa pamflet atau spanduk di tempat beresiko tinggi.

Abstract Invasive Aspergillus (IA) sinusitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection in immunocompromised individuals, but it is uncommon in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. To gain a better understanding of the characteristics of IA sinusitis in this population, we present a unique case of chronic IA sinusitis in an HIV-infected patient taking antiretroviral therapy and review the literature summarizing published cases of invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal (n = 41) and mastoid (n = 17) sinuses in HIV-infected individuals. Among these cases, only 4 were reported after 1999, and 98% of patients had acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Orbital invasion occurred in 54% of paranasal sinus cases, whereas intracranial invasion was reported in 53% of mastoid sinus cases. The overall mortality was 79%. We also discuss various clinical and immunologic factors that may play a role in the development of IA and consider the changing epidemiology of aspergillosis in the era of effective antiretroviral therapy.

ABSTRACT:A man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome suddenly developed bilateral complete ptosis and minor vertical gaze limitation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion in the midbrain surrounding the sylvian aqueduct in addition to bilateral masses in the caudate nuclei. Pathologic examination showed that the caudate lesions were central nervous system lymphoma of B cell origin, but the midbrain lesion contained only signs of AIDS encephalopathy. The periaqueductal lesion involved the caudal central subnucleus and probably also the subnuclei of the superior and inferior recti of the oculomotor nuclear complex bilaterally.

AbstractWe report a case of previously undiagnosed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who had a mass in the post-nasal space causing almost complete nasal obstruction. Histology showed both respiratory and squamous epithelium covering an active chronic inflammatory infiltrate. Lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma and infiltrative fungal sinusitis were excluded. There was no evidence of the common viruses associated with lesions in AIDS. Unlike adenoid hypertrophy, the lesion was an exuberant growth with an additional chronic inflammatory reaction due to ulceration of the surface epithelium.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the proportion of overweight among patients with human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and correlate overweight and highly active antiretroviral therapy with metabolic complications. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome outpatients undergoing nutritional therapy from 2000 to 2006 in a University Health Center. The sample consisted of 393 human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome patients. Nutritional and medical records were used as a source of data on personal, clinical and biochemical information. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test. RESULTS: Sixty-nine percent of the patients were males aging from 26 to 49 years. Overweight and obesity were identified in 49% of this population. The most important metabolic complications were low levels of high-density lipoprotein (70%) and high levels of triglycerides (48%) and cholesterol (40%). Higher body mass index was associated with higher lipid levels and more evidence of insulin resistance. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated an important proportion of overweight and obesity among human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome patients. These results suggest that nutritional interventions and lifestyle modifications may be useful strategies to decrease the cardiovascular risk in this population.
