title: [Treatment management of a multiply injured patient with HIV infection].
abstract: In orthopaedic surgery and emergency medicine, patients of the age groups with a HIV risk represent the largest part of the entire population. As necessary steps have to be taken immediately at the scene of an accident and in the emergency room, contact with HIV-positive blood is often unavoidable, so that there is an increased risk of transmission for doctors and personnel. Due to the immunological state, the HIV patient is exposed to considerable post-operative complications such as wound infection, pneumonia and even sepsis. With the case of a 35-year-old HIV-positive patient who was multiply injured in a traffic accident, we want to present an interesting example of the problems that occur in the treatment of this patient group.
