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.

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

Abstract Background Incidental findings on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) have a great impact on the benefits and costs of testing for cardiovascular disease. The number of incidental findings might be increased in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals compared with the general population. Data are limited regarding the association between incidental findings and HIV infection. Methods We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with incidental findings among HIV-positive and HIV-negative participants ≥45 years undergoing CCTA. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the factors associated with incidental findings in the HIV-positive and HIV-negative groups. For the analysis of the HIV effect, a propensity score-matched dataset of HIV-positive/HIV-negative participants was used. Results We included 553 participants, 341 with and 212 without HIV infection. Incidental findings were observed in 291 of 553 (53%) patients. In 42 of 553 (7.6%) participants, an incidental finding resulted in additional workup. A malignancy was diagnosed in 2 persons. In the HIV-positive group, age (1.31 per 5 years, 1.10–1.56) and smoking (2.29, 1.43–3.70) were associated with incidental findings; in the HIV-negative group, age (1.26, 1.01–1.59) and a CAC score >0 (2.08, 1.09–4.02) were associated with incidental findings. Human immunodeficiency virus seropositivity did not affect the risk of incidental findings. Conclusions Incidental findings were highly prevalent among HIV-positive and HIV-negative persons. Human immunodeficiency virus infection was not associated with an increased risk of incidental findings.

The first cases of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) were reported in 1981 in patients with a high decline in immune response. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can manifest itself through various signs and symptoms. The oral cavity is an extremely important way for diagnosis and prognosis, because oral lesions may present as clinical signs of disease progression or ineffective antiretroviral treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate, diagnose and intervene in the oral lesions present in a patient with HIV infection. A case report study was conducted on a patient treated at the Dr. Antônio Comte Telles Polyclinic (Specialized Assistance Service for HIV / AIDS) in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Lesions found in the patient were Leukemia, Smoker's Melanosis and Oral Candidiasis, the latter being treated with tongue hygiene and application of VegelipR associated with laser therapy. It was observed that the treatment was effective and in five sessions there was improvement in the lesion. Oral manifestations are closely related to the HIV virus, since they may be associated with infection and / or disease progression, indicating deficiency in the immune system, as well as interruption of antiretroviral treatment. Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection that, if properly diagnosed and treated, contributes to the improvement of the immune system. It is concluded that the knowledge of the dentist regarding the pathologies and their manifestations is important, as well as a multidisciplinary work in the reference centers for HIV.  Keywords: HIV, AIDS, Oral Injury, Dentistry.

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.
