Noninfectious manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
Infection with HIV is associated with an array of noninfectious conditions of which the emergency physician should be aware. The knowledge of these complications and their differentiation from microbial conditions also common with HIV is essential in treating such patients in the emergency department. These complications involve every organ system: they are discussed in some detail and the most common are considered more closely from a target organ perspective.
