Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients are known to have an increased tendency for developing opportunistic infections. However, there are no reports of simultaneous lymph node involvement of <em>cytomegalovirus</em> and <em>Mycobacterium avium complex</em> in a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient. We report a 31-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and tenderness and weight loss. He died a few hours after admission. Autopsy studies showed coinfection of <em>cytomegalovirus</em>, <em>Mycobacterium avium complex</em> and <em>human immunodeficiency virus</em>. Our case emphasizes the need to be careful in evaluating opportunistic infections in severely immunodepressed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients. This case report is the first manifestation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in this patient.

Infective Agent

AbstractPseudomonas aeruginosa is emerging as an increasingly common opportunistic infective agent in the immunocompromised human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patient (Kielhofner et al., 1992). Improvements in the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections in HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has led to longer life expectancy (Graham et al., 1992), and this has changed the incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in this population (Baron and Hollander, 1993). We present a case of a patient with AIDS who developed a fulminant Pseudomonas aeruginosa stenosing subglottic infection. We are unaware of any previous reports of this particular manifestation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Abstract: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is virus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which is a retrovirus disease that characterized by the severe immunosuppression that cause opportunistic infection, secondary neoplasm and neurologic manifestations. Nervous system involvement in HIV infections may occur directly through the virus and indirectly as a result of opportunistic infections due to immunocompromised. This study aimed to determine the incidence of intracranial complication in HIV/AIDS patients who were hospitalized in Neurology Ward of RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado from July 2012 to June 2013. This study were a retrospective descriptive study using medical record of patients with HIV/AIDS. The results showed there were 36 patients with HIV/AIDS and 27 patients had intracranial complications. Tuberculous Meningitis was the most common type of complications with percentage (51,9%). Based on those 27 HIV/AIDS patients with intracranial complication, patients who were 25-34 years old (44%) have the most intracranial complication. Based on the gender percentage, it is dominated by male (59,3%) and based on the occupations, it is commonly came from entrepreneurs (29,6%). Conclusion: The incidences of intracranial complication in patients with HIV/AIDS were quite high on Tuberculous Meningitis, and it is dominated by male. The highest distributions were found on aged 25-34 whose occupation were entrepreneurs. Keywords: Intracranial Complication, HIV/AIDS, patients.   Abstrak: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) merupakan virus yang menyebabkan penyakit Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) yaitu suatu penyakit retrovirus yang ditandai dengan imunosupresi berat yang menimbulkan infeksi oportunistik, neoplasma sekunder, dan manifestasi neurologis. Keterlibatan sistem saraf pada infeksi HIV dapat terjadi secara langsung karena virus tersebut dan tidak langsung akibat infeksi oportunistik akibat imunokompromis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui angka kejadian komplikasi intrakranial pada penderita HIV/AIDS yang di rawat inap di Bagian Neurologi RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado selama periode Juli 2012 – Juni 2013. Metode penelitian ini ialah deskriptif retrospektif dengan menggunakan catatan rekam medik penderita HIV/AIDS. Hasil peneitian memperlihatkan dari 36 pasien HIV/AIDS, terdapat 27 penderita yang memiliki komplikasi intrakranial dengan persentase jenis komplikasi intrakranial terbanyak yaitu Meningitis Tuberkulosis (51,9%). Dari 27 penderita HIV/AIDS yang memiliki komplikasi intrakranial paling banyak ialah pada kelompok umur 25-34 tahun (44,4%) sedangkan untuk jenis kelamin, didominasi oleh penderita berjenis kelamin laki-laki (59,3%), dan jenis pekerjaan terbanyak ialah wiraswasta (29,6%). Kesimpulan: Angka kejadian komplikasi intrakranial pada penderita HIV/AIDS yang cukup tinggi terdapat pada Meningitis Tuberkulosis dengan jenis kelamin terbanyak ialah laki-laki. Distribusi yang cukup tinggi pula ditemukan pada kelompok umur 25-34 tahun dengan jenis pekerjaan sebagai wiraswasta. Kata Kunci: Komplikasi Intrakranial, HIV/AIDS, penderita

Currently, there is no cure for Human immunodeficiency virus /Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) but, there are medications to control HIV and prevent opportunistic infections. Clinicians must be vigilant enough to extract history and send relevant laboratory investigations to diagnose the disease in early stage. Patient may not have known his /her diagnosis or intentionally avoided to reveal the disease status which further complicates the diagnosis and treatment. This is case of a 51 years male, where social stigma forces the patient to hide his diagnosis and reluctant to seek medical treatment ultimately reaps the life. Hence, government and concerned authority must work up for wide availability of HIV/AIDS medications and motivate people to seek medical advices as soon as possible. Concerned authority must motivate people to consider it as any other treatable disease.

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are often treated with a variety of potentially nephrotoxic drugs. This review summarizes the renal, fluid, and electrolyte complications of drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus and associated opportunistic infections. The pharmacokinetics of the drugs are also briefly reviewed, and dosing guidelines for the use of these drugs in patients who have renal insufficiency or who are receiving dialysis are provided.

The number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases increases annually, and Indonesia has become the country with the fastest HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic spread among the five Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia entered the critical phase of HIV/AIDS infections after 5 out of the 33 provinces, namely, Papua, Jakarta, Bali, West Java, and East Java, reported HIV/AIDS epidemic since 2004. In AIDS pathophysiology and immune-suppression are severe, thus, opportunistic intestinal parasitic infections that cause diarrhea in HIV infection may be fatal. Several studies have suggested that Cryptosporidium parvum, Isospora belli, and Blastocystis hominis are the most common intestinal protozoan parasites categorized as AIDS associated illness. Diarrhea caused by parasites is considerably suspected in the cases of chronic and persistent diarrhea in adults, in an era of increasing HIV/AIDS cases nowadays. The present review highlights the current advances in etiologic agents of HIV/AIDS opportunistic infections among countries, epidemiology and prevalence, lifecycle, risk factors, examination methods, and treatment.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that manifests in patients with the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), more prominently in the head, neck, and oral mucosal region. The diagnosis of this rare lymphoma serves as a concomitant diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The case is of a 33-year-old previously healthy male, with an unknown diagnosis of HIV with a painful right mandibular mass. He was subsequently diagnosed with PBL and HIV. This case of PBL illustrates the importance of linking a rare and potentially life-threatening diagnosis as a possible first manifestation of HIV.
