| Abstract |
|
Acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a transient symptomatic illness associated with high-titer HIV replication and an expansive immunologic response to the invading pathogen. The diagnosis of acute HIV infection is difficult because the symptoms are those of common illnesses and HIV antibodies are usually not detected during the early phase of infection. An accurate early diagnosis is important because of the potential clinical benefit of early antiretroviral therapy, and to prevent the spread of infection. We report a case of acute HIV infection presenting as an acute febrile illness. We started treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and the patient is now well with no other complications. |
