[HIV positive patients in routine surgical practice].
In our daily surgical practice we encounter increasingly HIV-infected and AIDS patients. From January 1 1987 until December 31 1988 119 outpatients and 35 hospitalized patients were treated in the surgical department. They belonged mainly to the known risk groups. Abscesses and diagnostic excisions were predominant in the outpatients while hospitalized patients presented the full scale of surgical diseases. The clinical course was not different from that of other patients. 181 members of the medical staff of our hospital were registered after contact with blood or body fluids of HIV-infected patients and followed. A seroconversion was not observed so far.
