Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection is usually followed by opportunistic infections, especially in the full-blown acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study details the histopathological changes of different organs in relation to HIV infection, with particular emphasis on the opportunistic infections. Various organs from seventeen HIV-infected patients were collected by necropsy and analyzed for histopathological changes. The major histopathological changes included cytomegalovirus infection, cryptococcosis, penicilliosis, bacterial pneumonia, cryptosporidiosis, pneumocystosis, candidiasis, tuberculosis, granulomatosis of unknown etiology, early cirrhosis and chronic active hepatitis. General organ changes from seventeen cases of HIV-infected patients were described and discussed.
