  • Title: [Isolated mesenteric tuberculosis as the first manifestation of AIDS].
    Author: Nos P, Ricart C, García E, Moles JR, Lacruz J, Berenguer J.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1992 Jul; 82(1):59-60. PubMed ID: 1520554.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of mesenteric tuberculosis. Two painful abdominal masses and fever were the first manifestation of disease. Diagnosis was obtained by aspirative punction of a mesenteric adenopathy guided by ultrasonography. AIDS risk factors were not recognized by anamnesis but serum HIV antibodies were detected. Thus, extrapulmonary tuberculosis and the finding of HIV-Ab confirmed the diagnosis of AIDS in our patient. It is necessary to assay for HIV-Ab in extrapulmonary tuberculosis, especially when mesenteric tuberculosis is present.
