  • Title: [Abdominal sonographic findings in patients with AIDS].
    Author: Langer R, Langer M, Schütze B, Zwicker C, Wakat JP, Felix R.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1989 Mar; 42(3):121-5. PubMed ID: 2652265.
    Abstract:
    The ultrasound findings of 58 patients with AIDS and ARC were analysed retrospectively. In 55% an enlarged liver, in 62% an enlarged spleen, partially with focal lesions, and in 21% enlarged abdominal lymph nodes were diagnosed. The typical focal segmental glomerulosclerosis of the kidney was observed in one case, and cholangitis in 2 patients. Abdominal ultrasound is the first diagnostic procedure to be performed in patients with AIDS and ARC when abdominal pathology is suspected. With US-guided thin needle puncture of the lesions, a histological verification of the pathologic findings is possible.
