title: [Clinical course and surgical treatment of acute appendicitis in HIV-infected patients].
abstract: 197 patients with acute appendicitis were observed. HIV-infection was diagnosed in 82 (42%) patients. 115 (58%) patients without HIV-infection formed the comparison group. Patients with HIV-infection were arranged in the following way: II B stage--65 (79%) patients, II C stage--7 (8.5%), III A stage--6 (7.5%), III B stage (AIDS)--4 (5%). Annual increase of appendectomies in HIV patients is observed. Amount of patients with more serious stages of HIV infection also increases resulting from time factor of the disease.
