Sinusitis frequently affects patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, often presenting with prolonged symptoms and complicating diagnosis of other conditions. Early identification and sinus needle aspiration are crucial for effective management.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Sinusitis is a common complication in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Understanding its characteristics is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the prevalence, clinical features, and diagnostic challenges of sinusitis in HIV-infected patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of case notes from 722 deceased HIV-infected patients and 15 out-patients with sinusitis.
  • Review of clinical and radiological criteria for sinusitis diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Sinusitis was diagnosed in 10% of deceased patients and identified in out-patients, totaling 88 patients with 126 episodes.

  • Maxillary sinuses were most commonly affected; prolonged illness correlated with mirror formation.
  • Sinusitis symptoms often overlapped with other conditions, complicating diagnosis, with 10 cases of unrecognized concurrent diseases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sinusitis is frequent, protracted, and diagnostically challenging in HIV-infected individuals.
    • Persistent symptoms warrant investigation for concurrent respiratory or CNS infections.
    • Sinus needle aspiration is vital for identifying causative organisms.
