[Management of patients with pain in the right iliac fossa and human immunodeficiency virus infection].
Pain in the right iliac fossa in a patient infected with HIV raises several questions which can mislead or delay diagnosis leading to increased morbidity and mortality. We report 3 cases selected because of the difficulties encountered in diagnosis or treatment and review the literature on the topic in an attempt to develop a management strategy for such patients.
