The autopsy on the patient who has died of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) can be of great value to the physicians who cared for the patient and to society in general. Although the AIDS virus has been shown to be significantly contagious in the clinical setting, there is no evidence thus far that it is particularly contagious in the autopsy room. Indeed, there is no documentation of a pathologist or autopsy room assistant having contracted AIDS or having seroconverted because of the performance of an autopsy on a patient with AIDS. Procedures to follow in the autopsy of the patient with AIDS are described. The hospital pathologist can safely examine the patient who has died of AIDS by using the well-established techniques for performance of the autopsy.
对死于获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）的患者进行尸检，对护理该患者的医生以及整个社会都具有重要价值。尽管在临床环境中已证明艾滋病病毒具有显著传染性，但迄今为止尚无证据表明它在尸检室具有特别的传染性。事实上，没有文件记录病理学家或尸检室助手因对艾滋病患者进行尸检而感染艾滋病或血清转化。本文描述了对艾滋病患者进行尸检时应遵循的程序。医院病理学家可以通过使用成熟的尸检技术安全地检查死于艾滋病的患者。
