His homosexual exposure had been eight years previously. Pneumocystic carinii pneumonia (PCP) was diagnosed by bronchoscopic biopsy; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies had been positive by ELISA, IFA and Western Blot for one year prior to presentation for the appendicitis problem. Hairy leukoplakia was also noted. Laboratory studies showed severe lymphopenia with a reversed T-helper to T-suppressor ratio. Appendectomy was performed without mortality or morbidity, despite persistent postoperative fever and prolonged wound healing. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were used, and the patient returned to his preoperative health status. This experience, as well as current reports, suggest that early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment for acute appendicitis is the best policy, regardless of possible immunodeficiency considerations. |
