Abstract

Background: FEVER, is a common sign during the course of HIV infection. The aim of this study was to describe the etiology and clinical characteristics of FEVER among HIV/AIDS patients in a teaching hospital in Iran.Patients and methods: In this existing data study, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of admitted HIV/AIDS patients with FEVER to Imam Khomeini hospital, from October 1995 to March 2005 to assess the causes of their FEVER.Results: Totally, 125 admissions were performed for 120 patients. The mean (±SD) age was 34.8±14.7 years. The final diagnosis of FEVER was determined in 65.6% of all admissions. Mostly (34.4%), the cause of FEVER remained undiagnosed. Pulmonary TUBERCULOSIS was the most commonly identified etiology of FEVER (33.6%), followed by opportunistic infections such as oral candidiasis, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and cerebral toxoplasmosis.Conclusion: TUBERCULOSIS is the most common infection in Iranian HIV/AIDS patients and appropriate workup should be considered in all FEVERish HIV/AIDS patients.
