ABSTRACT
The number of AIDS patients is currently increasing in Korea, and multiple opportunistic infections, which are due to their immunocompromised state, have become a significant clinical problem. These opportunistic diseases may vary according to the severity of immunosuppression, the mode of transmission, the risk factors, the living environment and treatment; rectal syphilis, perianal condyloma lata and amoebic liver abscess are known to rarely develop in AIDS patients. We report here on a case of a homosexual man who simultaneously presented with an amebic liver abscess, esophageal candidiasis, chronic hepatitis B, rectal syphilis, perianal condyloma lata and asymptomatic neurosyphilis. He was treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HARRT) and the appropriate antiviral and antibiotic agents.
