Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the epidemiological characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated with anorectal diseases and analyze the clinical characteristics of the HIV-positive patients with perianal abscess.
METHODS Totally 152 HIV/AIDS patients who were complicated with anorectal diseases and were treated in The Eighth Hospital of Wuhan from Jan. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were recruited as the research subjects, 36 of whom had perianal abscess. The manifestations of anorectal diseases, treatment status and incidence rates of the diseases among the patients with different clinical characteristics in the different years were statistically analyzed. The clinical characteristics of the HIV-positive patients with perianal abscess were observed.
RESULTS Of the 152 HIV/AIDS patients complicated with anorectal diseases, 51.97% had mixed hemorrhoid, and 23.68% had perianal abscess. The number of patients with HIV/AIDS complicated with anorectal diseases gradually increased from 2020 to 2023; while the incidence rate of male, aged between 30 and 40 years old, married individuals, those with primary school education or below and famers were relatively high. Among the HIV/AIDS patients complicated with anorectal diseases, 139 underwent surgical procedures, and 23 did not. Among the 36 HIV-positive patients with perianal abscess, 97.22% were male, 50.00% were aged between 20 and 30 years old, and 44.44% were married.
CONCLUSIONS The number of HIV/AIDS patients complicated with anorectal diseases is gradually increased from 2020 to 2023; the incidence rates are relatively high among the patients who are male, aged between 30 and 40 years old, married, with primary school education or below and famers. Perianal abscess and mixed hemorrhoid are the major types of anorectal diseases. Surgical procedures are recommended for HIV/AIDS patients complicated with anorectal diseases, while the HIV-positive patients with perianal abscess are dominated by the population of male, aged between 20 and 30 years old and married. It is necessary to attach great importance to the detection of pathological characteristics of the HIV-positive patients with perianal abscess so as to take appropriate treatment measures to improve the therapeutic effect.
