“…HIV infection results in a gradual degradation of the immune system, in particular cell-mediated immunity, crucial in forming granulomas which are an essential defence mechanism against M. tuberculosis [135]. Not only is the risk of reactivation of latent disease much higher with HIV infection [136], but also the risk of acquiring TB is said to be 100 times greater than the general public [137] with as many as 40% of patients being attributed to exogenous infection [138]. Progressively worsening immunodeficiency tends to increase the likelihood of tuberculous infection.…”

“…1 This is more obvious in HIV-infected patients. 2 In spite of the development of diagnostic modalities, diagnosis of abdominal TB remains a challenge, even to the most experienced physician, because many patients with extrapulmonary TB present with non-specific signs and symptoms. 3 Computed tomography findings in abdominal TB are well documented, [4][5][6][7] but no specific ultrasound features of this disease have been described.…”

Sonographic findings were retrospectively analysed in 39 patients with proven abdominal tuberculosis (TB). The patients were treated over 15 years at a major teaching hospital, Mubarak Al-Kabber Hospital, in Kuwait. The findings included clear or complex ascites with fine strands, loculations and debris. The other findings were lymphadenopathy, bowel wall thickening, omental mass, focal lesions in the liver and spleen and psoas abscess. The sonographic findings in abdominal TB are not specific but may give valuable information to prevent unnecessary laparotomy.

“…Miliary spreading of disease is more common in patients with AIDS; 50% of AIDS patients with TB have extrapulmonary involvement, compared with only 10-15% of non-HIV TB patients [9]. The dominant manifestation of TB is pulmonary disease.…”

Clinical and radiological deterioration in a patient with AIDS

Paradoxical clinical deterioration of miliary tuberculosis, characterized by pulmonary and abdominal manifestations, is reported in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, after initiation of treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy. Paradoxical reaction was attributed to partial restoration of cell-mediated immunity related to highly effective antiretroviral therapy. Because tuberculosis has a high prevalence in HIV patients and tuberculosis is often characterized by miliary spreading of disease in these patients, it is important to recognize this phenomenon.
