Various stages of AIDS symptoms

From the incidence of HIV infection have a complete natural process of clinical will be divided into four phases of this process: acute infection period, incubation period, pre-AIDS, a view typical of AIDS. Not everyone will be infected with the emergence of a complete performance of the four, but each stage of the disease in patients with clinically can all see. Four different clinical performance period is a gradual and consistent course of the development process. 1, the acute infection phase of this window period is the time. HIV attacks the human body by stimulating the body's reaction. Patients with fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, but also occurred in fatigue, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pharyngitis, and so on. Some acute aseptic meningitis, for the performance of the headache, symptoms of neurological disease and meningeal irritation. Peripheral blood examination, the total number of normal white blood, lymphocytes, or reduce, increase in monocytes. Acute phase of infection, the symptoms often minor, easily ignored. In the 2-6 weeks after infection, serum antibodies to HIV positive. Since then, a clinical duration ranging from relatively healthy, asymptomatic incubation period. 2, the incubation period can be infected without any clinical symptoms, but the incubation period is not quiescent, but not the rhythm, in the continued propagation of the virus, with a strong role in the destruction. The incubation period means that from the beginning of HIV infection, AIDS appears to clinical symptoms and signs. The average incubation period of AIDS is now considered to be 2-10 years. This is the early detection and prevention of the patients have great difficulties. 3, pre-AIDS began to appear after the incubation period of AIDS-related symptoms and signs up to become a typical AIDS for some time. During this period, there are a lot of names, including "AIDS-related syndrome", "lymph node disease-related syndrome," and "persistent generalized lymphadenopathy" and "pre-AIDS syndrome." At this time, AIDS patients have a basic feature of cell immunodeficiency, but no more than minor symptoms. The main clinical features are: A. Lymph nodes this period one of the most important clinical manifestations. Mainly superficial lymph nodes. The site of occurrence was particularly prevalent in the head and neck, armpits, groin, neck, ears, ears, shares lymph nodes, submandibular lymph nodes, and so on. General at least two or more parts, and some as many as a dozen Department. The swollen lymph node on the general treatment of non-response, Chang continued to swell more than half a year or more. About 30% of patients on clinical only superficial lymph nodes, and no other symptoms. B. Systemic symptoms of systemic viral disease patients often do not apply, muscle pain and other symptoms. About 50% of the patients tired and unable to cyclical low heat, often going on for several months. Sweating at night, in January with more than 5 times. About 1 / 3 of patients over 10% weight loss, weight loss that can not be explained simply by heat, add enough calories not be able to control this weight loss. Some patients with headaches, depression or anxiety, and some feel nerve lesions appear, the virus may be related to violations of the nervous system, and some may appear reactive mental disorder. 3 / 4, the patient may appear splenomegaly. C, a variety of infections in addition to the above-mentioned period of superficial lymph nodes and systemic symptoms, patients with a variety of special recurring or recurrent non-fatal infections. Repeatedly infected with the disease will accelerate the development of the disease into the typical period of AIDS. About half of the patients have more serious athlete's foot, usually single, topical treatment for the lack of an effective response, the patient's armpit and groin frequent site of staphylococcus infection bullous kitchen septic sores, the patient's perianal and genital, weight-bearing And parts of the oral mucosa and the condyloma verruca vulgaris often infected with the virus. Herpes simplex lips and chest the incidence of shingles than the normal population increase. Oral Candida albicans is quite common, mainly in the oral mucosa erosion, congestive heart, a cheese-like cover. Other common non-streptococcus infection pharyngitis, sinusitis and acute and chronic intestinal parasite infection. Many patients with increased frequency of defecation,-thinning, with mucus. Proctitis and may be related to a variety of pathogenic micro-organisms intestine related to the invasion. In addition, oral hairy leukoplakia can occur, hairy leukoplakia is the existence of early diagnosis of AIDS, an important clue. 4, typical of AIDS, some scholars call a view to fatal AIDS, HIV infection is the final stage. This period has three basic characteristics: severe immune deficiency occurred in a variety of fatal opportunistic infections. Occurrence of a variety of malignant tumors. AIDS in the end, the total collapse of the immune function, patients with serious's syndrome, until death. Diagnosed with AIDS can not rely on clinical performance, according to the most important thing is to check the blood test is positive, therefore, self-doubt after HIV infection should be in a timely manner to the local health inspection and quarantine departments to do, do not own under the diagnosis of chaos.
