- W1485015324 abstract "Objective: Symptoms and signs in Human Immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection and Acquired Immuno- Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients are diverse; hence the presentations at hospitals are multichannelled. The pattern of presentation and treatment outcome in HIV / AIDS patients in our centre is presented. Method: Twenty – two new patients referred to the otorhinolaryngology (ORL) clinic of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex (OAUTHC), IIe- Ife, screened and confirmed to be positive for HIV/ AIDS were retrospectively studied and followed up. All the patients consented to retroviral screening. The total number of patients seen during the study period also noted. Results: Twenty- two patients made up of 7 males and females (M: F: 1:2) were studied. They constituted 0.7% of the 3000 patients seen in ORL clinic during the study period their ages ranged from 15 year to 59 year. Fifty – four percent of the patients were within age range 20 year to year. All the patients were sexually active; some confessing multiple sexual partners. Almost all professions, skilled and unskilled, were represented. Major clinical features were recorded. Treatment was mainly supportive: few patients could afford retroviral therapy. Over 50% of the patients defaulted for several reasons. Mortality rate was 18%. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of 0.7% among new ORL cases in this study is high. Otorhinolaryngologists practicing in this environment must be well trained in the act of pre and post screening counseling, while precaution is taken against infecting themselves and their patients.
