Abdominal sonography in AIDS. A review

J. M. Yee, B. N. Raghavendra, S. C. Horii and M. Ambrosino
Department of Radiology, NYU Medical Center, NY 10016.

Sonographic examination of the abdomen was performed in 155 patients with clinical diagnosis of AIDS. Approximately one half of the patients had hyperechoic (fatty) liver and splenomegaly. About one third of the patients had lymphadenopathy and hyperechoic kidneys. Intravenous drug abusers were more likely to have renal parenchymal changes, whereas patients with sexually transmitted AIDS have a greater incidence of splenomegaly. Lymphadenopathy is the most consistent finding that would question the immune competency of a patient in the appropriate clinical setting. The usefulness of sonography lies in the detection or exclusion of potentially treatable complications in AIDS.
