Abstract:
Analysis of data on case-management and referral of persons infected by HIV is based upon a cross-sectional study at the national level. The evolution of trends over the last 2 years reveals a rise in the number of AIDS cases undergoing full hospital treatment and a decline in the number of seropositives hospitalised. Irrespective of the clinical presentation, there has been above an increase in hospital care day treatment and consultations. Amongst all AIDS patients there is a growing need for increased treatment and case in the home as well as intermediary length hospital case management--a crucial consideration for the future.
