dc.description.abstractInfection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has an increasing, direct and significant impact on the hospital, especially the emergency services. Out of a total of 39,876 patients screened, 1061 patients were reactive for anti-HIV antibodies. The incidence of the infection showed a remarkable progression from 0.89% in 1992-1993 to 5.6% in 1997, among the seropositive patients. The number of patients with signs and symptoms related to HIV infection has also shown a 2 fold rise (from 42% in 1992-1993 to 87% in 1997). The prevalence of HIV 1 in the seropositive patients is 93%, HIV 2 alone is 2.3% and 3.1% had a mixed infection with both HIV 1 and 2. Secondary infection with Mycobacteria ranked high (25%) among the symptomatic patients, with pulmonary and the disseminated varieties being more common.en_US
