ABSTRACT

Few studies have examined ultrasound imaging of abdominal manifestations of HIV-AIDS, although these rank second only to its pleuropulmonary manifestations. Thus, this study sought to determine the features of abdominal ultrasound in HIV infection. This prospective, descriptive and analytical study took place in the radiology department of the University Hospital Campus Lomé and covered the three-year period of 2009-2011. It included all patients older than 15 years with positive HIV serology. During the study period, 566 patients met the inclusion criteria. Ultrasound examination showed the liver appeared normal in 153 patients (27.0%), but homogeneously hyperechoic and thus suggestive of hepatic steatosis in 107 (18.9%). The bile duct was dilatated in 12 patients or 2.1%. An anomaly in the corticomedullary differentiation in normal-sized kidneys was noted in 28.1% (159 patients). Diffuse homogeneous hypertrophy of the pancreas was found in 3 patients (0.53%). Splenomegaly was noted in 387 patients (68.4%); the echopattern of the spleen was diffusely micronodular in 6 patients (1.1%). Deep adenopathies were found in 29 patients (5.1%) and ascites in 46 patients (8.1%). Abdominal ultrasound is a medical imaging technique available in developing countries, less expensive than others, which can be considered an alternative to computed tomography (CT) in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa for the exploration of the abdominal manifestations of HIV.

ABSTRACT

Objectif : decrire les aspects etiologiques des lombosciatiques a la tomodensitometrie. Patients et methode : etude transversale descriptive realisee chez des patients ayant beneficie d'un scanner lombaire dans le cadre de l'exploration d'une lombosciatique ; l'examen scanographique avait ete realise sur un scanner de 16 barrettes de la firme General Electric; avec des acquisitions volumiques sans et avec injection du produit de contraste iode si besoin en intraveineuse ou dans les espaces sous arachnoidiens. La lecture a ete faite en fenetres osseuses et parties molles; apres reconstructions multi-planaires; par deux radiologues ayant au moins cinq ans d'experience. Resultats : L'etude avait concerne 166 patients dont l'age moyen etait de 48 ans avec les extremes de 23 ans et 76 ans. L'examen scanographique etait normal dans 4 des cas (7 patients). Les aspects etiologiques au scanner etaient domines par la hernie discale dans 34 des cas (56 patients); du debord discal global dans 23 des cas (39 patients); de la spondylodiscite dans 13 des cas (22 patients); du canal lombaire retreci avec constructions osteophytiques; spondylolisthesis et arthrose inter-apophysaire dans 11 des cas (18 patients); du canal lombaire etroit constitutionnel dans 6 des cas (9 patients). Conclusion : La tomodensitometrie peut etre consideree comme suffisante dans l'exploration d'une lombosciatique dans un pays en developpement ou l'acces a l'imagerie par resonnance magnetique est tres limite
