Abstract:
This work is the result of a retrospective study carried out over three months, from February to April 2002 in the ENT service of Gabriel Touré hospital of Bamako (Mali). The purpose of the study was to find out the prevalence of HIV/aids among ENT patients over the study period. Out of 691 patients, there were 19 cases of seropositivity (2.7%). These seropositive patients were quite often young women, over half of them urban (16/19), jobless and unpaid. The oro-pharyngo-laryngology symptoms though not often obvious in the HIV/AIDS manifestations deserve to be studied more as they can point out possible screening.
