Subcutaneous Nodule
Sites of infection were found from blood culture, as subcutaneous nodules, or from lymph node biopsy. Fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, anaemia and weight loss were common characteristics in most infected patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Agitation
Near the end of life, many people have pain and other distressing symptoms (such as agitation) and usually lose their appetite. Hospice programs are particularly equipped to deal with such problems. [msdmanuals.com]

Communicating Hydrocephalus
Imaging studies of the neck showed scrofula and adenopathy, and brain imaging showed infarctions, exudates, and communicating hydrocephalus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The literature is lacking in details about the clinical workup of patients presenting with tuberculous meningitis with encephalopathic features who are co-infected with HIV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further workup was performed to rule out inflammatory or infectious conditions by blood and cerebrospinal fluid examinations. [stroke.ahajournals.org]
HIV infection with AIDS-defining opportunistic infections These 3 categories are further subdivided on the basis of the CD4 T-cell count, as follows: 500/µL: Categories A1, B1, C1 200-400/µL: Categories A2, B2, C2 200/µL: Categories A3, B3, C3 See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Penicillium
Penicillium marneffei infection was confirmed by sputum culture, blood culture and tissue biopsy. After definite diagnosis, one refused further treatment, and others showed significant improvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fusarium
Fusarium species are known to cause disseminated cutaneous lesions in immunocompromised patients. Some cases of fusariosis are reported in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Thus, patients with MT-2-positive virus have limited benefit from treatment with single nucleoside analogues. Knowledge of MT-2 cell tropism may be important in clinical trials and for choosing treatments for patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, KS has an aggressive course and carries poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Expectations (prognosis): HIV is a chronic medical condition that can be treated, but not yet cured. There are effective means of preventing complications and delaying, but not preventing, progression to AIDS. [ihv.org]
Etiology
Its etiology remains unknown, although isolated familial cases have suggested that acquired and inherited forms of the disease may exist. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
