Ileal Perforation in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome

Atul Sharma et al. Indian J Sex Transm Dis AIDS. 2012 Jul.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal involvement is common in patients of human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Specific gastrointestinal disorders often correlate with degree of immunosuppression. In advance cases of HIV infection GI symptoms are usually part of systemic infection. In such scenario multiple infections are common so failure to diagnose a specific cause is not uncommon. We here present a case study of a patient with ileal perforation with tubercular etiology and its management.

Keywords: AIDS; Ileal perforation; tuberculosis.
