title: Nursing management of symptoms influenced by HIV infection of the endocrine system.
abstract: Examining the impact of endocrine disregulation is useful in managing symptoms of HIV infection in its later stages. Current studies indicate insults to the endocrine system from a variety of agents present in HIV infection. Establishing direct pathologic, causal effects is difficult; however, the functional domains of the endocrine system provide a good framework for nursing management of the symptoms of later-stage HIV infection.
