• spleen in AIDS

  18 May, by Admin

  Prior to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), typical findings were:
  white pulp depletion
  red pulp hemosiderin deposition
  splenic spindle cell proliferation
  splenic perivascular hyalinization
  also infectious and malignant infiltrates (Mod Pathol 2002;15:406)
  Post-highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) findings include less frequent white pulp depletion, but similar rates of splenic involvement by atypical mycobacteria and CMV in those with systemic (...)
