ABSTRACT

La primoinfección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) es sintomática en casi el 70% de los casos pero en la mayoría de ellos, el diagnóstico pasa desapercibido debido a su sintomatología inespecífica, el conjunto de manifestaciones clínicas se conoce como síndrome retroviral agudo. Al ser sub diagnosticada la enfermedad es potencialmente contagiosa en su período latente o diagnosticada en la etapa SIDA. El caso clínico es un masculino de 31 años de edad, ingresa al Hospital Clínico Viedma el 19 de marzo del 2014, con alzas térmicas no cuantificadas, lesiones máculopapulosas diseminadas con predominio en tórax y miembros superiores no dolorosas, pruriginosas además de rinorrea, astenia, anorexia y odinofagia progresiva. El paciente tenía antecedente de enfermedad de dengue hace un mes. Se realiza serología, con ELISA positivo para VIH y Western Blot indeterminado. Se solicita carga viral con valores extremadamente altos confirmando la primoinfección por VIH.
