The past twenty years has seen an explosive rise in the number of individuals infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). In sub-Saharan Africa, the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the leading cause of death among young adults with little sign of abating. Immunosuppression and opportunistic infections associated with HIV infection have been responsible for various unusual and unique surgical syndromes that have only recently been described. This review examines the vascular surgical complications of the disease with particular regard to HIV-associated vasculitides, aneurysms and occlusive disease and the implications for management.
在过去二十年中，感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的人数呈爆发式增长。在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）是青壮年人群的主要死因，且毫无缓解迹象。与HIV感染相关的免疫抑制和机会性感染引发了各种不同寻常且独特的外科综合征，这些综合征直到最近才被描述。本综述探讨了该疾病的血管外科并发症，尤其关注与HIV相关的血管炎、动脉瘤和闭塞性疾病及其对治疗的影响。
