Review of HIV-Related Cytopathology

摘要: Exfoliative and aspiration cytologies play a major role in the management of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Common cytology samples include cervicovaginal anal Papanicolaou tests, fine needle aspirations, respiratory specimens, body fluids, Tzanck preparations, touch preparations from brain specimens. While cytopathologists need to be aware specific infections neoplasms likely encountered this setting, they should current shift pattern virus-related diseases, as are living longer highly active antiretroviral therapy suffering fewer opportunistic better antimicrobial prophylaxis. There is rise nonhuman virus-defining cancers (e.g., cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma) entities gynecomastia) drug-related side effects. Given that valuable, noninvasive, cost-effective tool, it frequently employed evaluation diagnosis diseases. Anal tests also increasing result enhanced screening virus-positive for cancer. This paper covers broad spectrum disease cytopathology.
