Abstract:
The incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has gradually increased in recent years.HIV mainly destroys the body's immune system,leading to decreased body resistance and thus the development of a variety of opportunistic infections and neoplastic diseases,especially in the digestive system. However,the clinical manifestations,laboratory findings,and physical examination results of these conditions are not specific. Imaging examinations can determine the presence of infection and tumor lesions and the disease scope;furthermore,they are useful tools for biopsy and follow-up evaluation. A better knowledge of the radiological findings of these diseases can enable radiologists to provide more information to patients and clinicians. This article summarize the imaging findings of common opportunistic infections and malignant tumors in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients.
