[ORL manifestations in HIV patients. Report of 156 cases]. / Manifestaciones ORL en pacientes VIH. A propósito de 156 casos.

ABSTRACT

The study of 156 cases HIV infected patients put forward the high incidence of ENT manifestations in these cases. Cervical lymph nodes are an habitual manifestation of the disease. They appear as a host reaction versus viral infection and often they are the expression of opportunistic infection, Kaposi Sarcoma or lymphoma. They also have prognostic significance. We think that the lowe incidence of Kaposi Sarcoma in our report (comparing with other authors rates) is due to the fact that there is a smaller population of homosexuals in our environment.
