This paper reports a number of cases of patients attending an accident and emergency (A&E) department claiming to be HIV positive when they have been tested negative and are known to be negative by other departments in the hospital. The reasons for these patients claims are not always apparent. These patients may place an inappropriate workload on an already busy department. We caution doctors working in A&E departments to be vigilant when dealing with patients who claim to be HIV positive when there are no clinical or laboratory findings to substantiate the claim and we recommend liaison between relevant departments within a hospital and the patient's general practitioner (GP) when dealing with these patients.
本文报告了一些前往急诊部就诊的患者案例，这些患者在检测结果为阴性且医院其他科室已知其为阴性的情况下，却声称自己感染了艾滋病毒。这些患者声称感染的原因并不总是显而易见。这些患者可能会给本已繁忙的科室带来不适当的工作量。我们提醒在急诊部工作的医生，在处理那些声称感染艾滋病毒但没有临床或实验室检查结果来证实这一说法的患者时要保持警惕，并且我们建议在处理这些患者时，医院相关科室与患者的全科医生之间进行联络。
