  • Title: [Rheumatological manifestations in HIV infections].
    Author: Melaku Z, Haga HJ.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 2000 Apr 30; 120(11):1326-8. PubMed ID: 10868096.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The recognised clinical spectrum of disease associated with HIV infection is rapidly expanding and now includes a variety of rheumatological manifestations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this review of the literature of the last 15 years, we present the most common rheumatic manifestations described in association with HIV infection. RESULTS: Manifestations include a wide array of articular syndromes and autoimmune manifestations such as Reiter's syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, HIV associated arthritis and septic arthritis. Autoimmune diseases associated with HIV infection include a Sjögren-like syndrome, myopathies and systemic vasculitis. INTERPRETATION: Rheumatological manifestations of HIV infection may present earlier than clinical signs of the infection itself. Steroid and cytostatic treatment of rheumatic diseases may worsen the HIV disease.
