Six clinical symptoms of AIDS?
summary
AIDS is the English translation abbreviation of the medical term "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome". It is a virulent infectious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is fatal to human immune system. After human being infected with HIV, the cellular immune function of human body is seriously damaged or even lost, which leads to extremely low resistance of human body, causing infection of various bacteria and parasites, and even concurrent tumor, producing various serious symptoms and extremely high mortality. So what are the six major symptoms of AIDS? Here I would like to introduce to you.
Six clinical symptoms of AIDS?
1. General symptoms include persistent fever, weakness, night sweats, swelling of superficial lymph nodes, weight loss and emaciation. 2. The respiratory tract has long-term cough, blood sputum, chest pain and dyspnea. 3. Gastrointestinal symptoms include loss of appetite, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, bloody stool and diarrhea.
4. Nervous system symptoms include dizziness, headache, slow reaction, mental disorders, convulsions, hemiplegia, dementia and other brain symptoms. 5. The damage of skin and mucous membrane includes chronic papule, herpes, inflammation and ulceration of oral and pharyngeal mucous membrane. 6. It can be secondary to pulmonary cysticercosis or cysticercosis pneumonia, and can cause a variety of malignant tumors.
7. Long term fever (more than one month), progressive weight loss (more than 10% weight loss within two months), persistent diarrhea, fatigue, anorexia, mental retardation, slow reaction, etc. Due to the complete loss of immune function of AIDS patients, common opportunistic infections occur, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, oral and pharyngeal fungal infections. AIDS is often accompanied by malignant tumors, such as Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, liver cancer, renal cancer, etc.
matters needing attention
Early and blind treatment will increase the chance of side effects and drug resistance due to long-term medication. People infected with HIV will experience four stages: acute infection stage, asymptomatic stage, persistent lymphadenopathy stage and symptomatic stage. Antiviral therapy is generally chosen in the middle and late stage of asymptomatic period. The best time to start treatment must be guided by experienced doctors, and there must be regular follow-up and laboratory examination by doctors in the whole process of treatment.
