Cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusions were discovered at autopsy in the thyroid follicles in five immunocompromised adults, four of whom had acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Although reports of viral infections of the thyroid are uncommon in adults, our experience suggests that the thyroid gland may be commonly involved in patients with disseminated CMV, and the possibility exists that CM...

Severe diarrhoea in patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is usually a manifestation of gastrointestinal infection by a variety of organisms. We report a patient with low CD4 T cell counts who developed ulcerative colitis after amoebic dysentery. He subsequently developed acute ulcerative colitis with toxic dilatation while he was severely immunocompromised. He responded ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a worldwide epidemic, with over 42 million people currently infected. Since the discovery of HIV as the causative agent of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), many potential vaccines have been created. The first of these vaccines presented disappointing results; however, that has not deterred researchers from continuing to develop more...

The acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) crisis has raised many clinical and forensic dilemmas for the health-care system. Psychiatrists may encounter particular problems when evaluating and treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. The authors present a case of an HIV seropositive, bipolar, intravenous drug abusing patient who participates in unsafe sexual practices ...

Adenoids are present in posterosuperior wall of nasopharynx. Therefore, they are often not diagnosed by physicians [3]. Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) in adults is usually not seen. However, they have been documented in conditions such as organ transplant recipient, lymphoma and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AH may lead to blockade of the nasal passage. Therefore, further it may lead to...

The growing numbers of patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in England had led to the development of a counselling service for patients, their sexual partners, contacts, and others. The nature of the counselling is described with reference to the primary qualitative issues arising from diagnosis. The necessity for preventative education for patients and those at risk is ...

Sebaceous adenocarcinoma is a rare adnexal tumor that can affect the skin and is divided into ocular, a more common form and extra ocular, of a rarer occurrence. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) who developed an extra ocular, bulky and fast-growing sebaceous adenocarcinoma on the face. The literature has suggested that transplanted patien...
