Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is now a chronic manageable disease due to which is it imperative for reviewing various medical emergencies which an individual case may encounter. Emergencies may occur at any stage of the disease. HIV infection is associated with several opportunistic infections/malignancies that may be life threatening and need quick intervention by health care workers. These emergencies could be related to opportunistic infections that are seen at presentation or that occur as the immune system gets weaker, or may be HIV induced diseases like enteropathy and wasting, diarrhea leading to dehydration and its sequel, neurological complication like PML etc. and from complications resulting from use of anti-HIV medication like lactic acidosis, pancreatitis, bone marrow suppression and may include the immune reconstitution syndromes.
