[Urologic manifestations of AIDS].
The frequency of urological manifestations of AIDS appears to be increasing at the present time: between 1985 and 1988, 38 HIV1 seropositive patients were examined in the Urology department. In seven cases, the positive serology was discovered during investigation of a urogenital infection and 21 patients suffered from declared AIDS. The reasons for admission to hospital were: urogenital infection: 14 cases, dominated by epididymitis (7) and prostatitis (5), characterized by their frequent progression towards abscess formation; tumours: 6 cases, including 5 Kaposi sarcomas of the penis; and, lastly, neurological manifestations, chronic renal failure and urological diseases unrelated to AIDS. This study indicates that serology should be performed routinely in cases with a known risk factor and/or with an atypical urogenital condition, particularly infectious. The adoption of aseptic techniques and rigorous protection of the entire surgical team is now absolutely necessary.
