“…As children are not injectable drug abusers, this node of transmission is very low in children as compare to adults. 22,23 In 2019, 46 thalassemia patients were reported to have HIV in Karachi due to unsafe blood transfusions from unregistered sources with half of them co infected with hepatitis B. 24 According to National Aids Control Program around 20-40% of blood is not screened for any transmittable diseases despite of the law for mandatory blood screening.…”

Objective: To view the different patterns of presentation of HIV in pediatric population along with mode of transmission and associated co infections and co morbidities Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, in which we evaluated the records of pediatric patients diagnosed with HIV from 2005 to 2020. All the data like age, gender, area, presenting complaints, examination findings at the time of diagnosis, mode of transmission, co infection and co morbidities were recorded. Descriptive analysis was done to calculate frequencies and means of the variables. SPSS 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Ninety four participants were evaluated with male to female ratio as 1.8:1 and mean age of 5.2 years. Majority of patients (44%) were below 4 years. Fever (55%) was the most reported symptom followed by cough (39%), diarrhoea (29%), pallor (27%), shortness of breath (26%), weight loss (23%) and failure to thrive (22%). Co infection with TB was present in (16%). Eight (9%) patients were thalassaemic. Mother to child transmission (60%) was the commonest mode of transmission followed by blood transfusion (23%) and parenteral transmission (6%). Conclusion: In children HIV is more prevalent in males especially under 4 years with fever, cough, diarrhea and pallor being the common symptoms at presentation. Tuberculosis is the commonest co infection as we are endemic for TB and mother to child transmission is the commonest mode of transmission as there was no outbreak in our area. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.3.6710 How to cite this: Bashir N, Haider N, Farooq A, Hussain M.

El virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana es el patógeno que causa una infección crónica que progresa a SIDA, en ausencia de tratamiento ARV, este es un retrovirus de la familia de los lentivirus, que provoca enfermedades de progresión lenta, los efectos y complicaciones en la vida de las personas que viven con la enfermedad, el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), es un padecimiento severo cuya importancia radica en su consideración como un problema de salud pública, que debido a su rápida forma de transmisión. El objetivo se basa en identificar los efectos y complicaciones que se van adquiriendo durante la infección. La metodología de la presente investigación corresponde al diseño documental narrativo. El tratamiento antirretroviral y la infección aumentan riesgos y efectos relacionados con enfermedades crónicas cómo infarto de miocardio, las complicaciones derivadas de la infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana son variadas y generalmente se presentan cuando la infección se encuentra en un estado avanzado. En conclusión, la infección por VIH aumenta el riesgo cardiovascular y favorece, a largo plazo la aparición de insuficiencia renal entre otras complicaciones Palabras claves: VIH, infección, complicaciones, efectos.

Highlight :A 26-year-old woman have sterile aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures.Pus and splenic tissue examination revealed no bacterial proliferation, while the surgery revealed a splenic abscess.Abstract:We presented a rare case, a 26-year-old woman have sterile aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures. Clinical examination of the patient showed a dense cystic mass in the left upper abdomen. Ultrasonography examination suspected a dermoid cyst. However, MRI examination of the abdomen showed turbid cystic lesions. The surgery revealed a splenic abscess, while pus and splenic tissue examination revealed no bacterial proliferation. Based on the literature, the patient had a good prognosis.
