Abstract:
Primary HIV infection is usually paucisymptomatic, although 30-40% of patients show a mononucleosic syndrome of variable intensity and different manifestations. An increasing number of heterosexual HIV infection in Spain, and the fact of more severe manifestations in this subset of patients make necessary a deeper understanding of this complex clinical picture. We report a case of heterosexual primary HIV infection in a female patient without any known risk factor. This care evolued in an exceptionally severe form with meningitis and pancreatitis, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported care of pancreatitis complicating primary HIV-1 infection.
