Renal disease in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was described before even human immunodeficiency virus was demonstrated to be the causative agent, when the now known human immunodeficiency virus associated nephropathy was first described. Several other pathologic processes mostly relating to the immunodeficiency caused by the viru...

Despite extraordinary recent advances in the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, patients infected with HIV are still susceptible to a variety of complications that stem either from immunodeficiency or from side effects of antiretroviral regimens. Diagnosis is often challenging, since e...

An HIV-1-infected adult presented with a short history of dyspnoea, productive cough and myalgia with fever. Shortly after presentation, he developed the abrupt onset of high-volume watery diarrhoea: stool culture grew Shigella sonnei. At the same time, he became hypoxaemic, and thoracic imaging showed bilateral lower lobe consolidation/collapse. C...

LEARNING OBJECTIVES This exhibit describes and illustrates the cross-sectional imaging features of a comprehensive range of inflammatory sinus disorders and their complications. The normal anatomy, anatomical variants and post-operative appearances are also demonstrated. ABSTRACT Inflammatory disorders of the sinonasal cavities have diverse radiol...

PURPOSE/AIM The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review the radiological features of extra-renal tract pathologies that clinically mimic renal stone disease and can be diagnosed on low dose MDCT KUB. 2. To review the literature evidence on the role of unenhanced low-dose MDCT KUB in the detection of extra-renal tract alternative diagnoses. CONTEN...
