“…11 However, hepatosplenomegaly in AIDS patients in the absence of hepatic focal lesions may suggest infection (M. avium intracellulare, malaria or histoplasmosis) rather than lymphoma. 12 Yee et al 10 and Schneiderman et al 11 attributed the diffuse increased hepatic echogenicity mostly to fatty infiltration or hepatic granulomatosis. However, hepatitis from infection or drugs can cause the observed hyperechoic and also hypoechoic hepatic parenchyma changes.…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to document the abdominal ultrasound findings in HIV infected patients and compare it with their CD4+ count. Patients and method: 300 confirmed HIV positive patients had abdominal ultrasonography done at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital from November 2007 to January 2008. Each patient’s sonographic findings were correlated with their CD4+ category using the WHO’s HIV classification index. Result: Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, renomegaly, hyperechoic splenic parenchyma, increased renal echogenicity and lymphadenopathy are among the common sonographic findings. However, few of these findings correlated statistically with the CD4+ count. Conclusion: The versatile diagnostic tool, ultrasound, should continue to be an important imaging equipment in several impoverished communities. In the evaluation of HIV infected patients, its use is invaluable and should be promoted.
