Abstract:
Objective To explore the method and efficacy of treating acute abdominal disease in HIV carriers.Methods To summarize experience of performing operations on eight HIV carriers suffering acute abdominal disease in an east African country from March 1997 to May 1999.Results The eight HIV carriers received treatment by performing emergency operation and taking anti-virus medicine. Among the eight HIV carriers followed up for 6-32 months post-operatively, seven carriers have recovered well up to present, while one carrier died of AIDS after completing the operation for three months. The died HIV carrier with peritonitis conducted a abdominal drainage in the operation, after which, the carrier's CD 4 lymphocyte number was checked below 100/mm 3.Conclusions We can achieve satisfied therapeutic effects under the condition that we do not adapt a discriminate and dilatory attitude towards curing HIV carriers suffering acute abdominal disease. Furthermore, it is very important to prevent the HIV spreading during and after the operation.So medical staffs in hospital should also strengthen self-prevention from HIV.
