ABSTRACT
Over a six-month period, 146 grade IV AIDS patients (HIV-1 and HIV-2) systematically underwent abdominal ultrasound examination. All abdominal organs were investigated in the search for lesions. Many lesions were detected. Pathological lesions were most frequent in the nodes (17.2%), hyperechogenic liver tissue (16.5%) and kidneys (13.7%). Lesions in the liver, gall bladder and spleen were less frequent. In most cases, the lesions were not specific to AIDS. However, systemic abdominal ultrasound scans for AIDS patients would be of value because such lesions are present.

A partir d'une etude prospective portant sur 7 ans; 2000 cas de derangements internes du genou ont ete analyses. Les lesions sont frequentes chez les sujets jeunes de sexe masculin (87 pour cent) avec pour cause essentielle les traumatismes surtout lors de la pratique du football. Les resultats arthrographiques revelent l'atteinte frequente des menisques surtout avec une predominance des fissurations
