Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been identified as a serious complication of HIV infection.
Here, we report sudden death in two pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) chronically infected (~1-2 years post-infection) with an R5 SHIV strain. At necropsy, total occlusion of the pulmonary artery by a large fibrin thrombus was present in both animals.
This report describes pulmonary vascular lesions similar to PAH in R5 SHIV-infected pigtail macaques.
肺动脉高压(PAH)已被确认为HIV感染的一种严重并发症。
在此,我们报告了两只慢性感染(感染后约1 - 2年)R5 SHIV毒株的猪尾猕猴(食蟹猴)突然死亡的情况。尸检时,两只动物的肺动脉均被一个大的纤维蛋白血栓完全阻塞。
本报告描述了R5 SHIV感染的猪尾猕猴中与PAH相似的肺血管病变。
