Introduction: HIV causes decreased immunity and predisposition to disease. As the number of individuals with HIV disease continues to increase rapidly and in fact, 5-35% of HIV–positive patients will develop perianal disease during evolution of AIDS. The objective of this study is to present the clinical syndrome of HIV-positive patients in colorectal surgery clinic.
Patients and methods: Retrospective study of HIV-seropositive patients in colorectal surgery clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital during July 2001 to June 2002 was performed. The data were analyzed in term of baseline data, diagnosis in colorectal surgery clinic, treatment outcome. Statistical analysis were mean, SD, and percent.
Results: General background of 80 from 85 patients (94.1%) recruited were: 63.8% male, mean age 36.1 years, 85% labor, 66.3% AIDS, 32.5% hemorrhoids, 17.5% condyloma acuminate, 16.3% herpetic ulcer, and 11.2% fistula in ano. No poor wound healing was found in non- AIDS patients.
