What Are AIDS Lesions?

Because the immune system is severely damaged, various fatal opportunistic infections and tumors are extremely easy to occur. The lesions can surface on the lungs, mouth, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine system, heart, kidneys, eyes, joints, skin, and so on. Those who have had opportunistic infections have an average survival of 9 months. \ nAbout half of AIDS patients with lung disease show lung symptoms at the initial stage. The most common is Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The patient presented with a persistent cough. In addition, cytomegalovirus pneumonia, tuberculosis pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, lung Kaposi's sarcoma, etc. can occur.

The patient entered the stage of AIDS from the incubation period. Due to the large loss of T4 lymphocytes, the functions of macrophages and natural killer cells (NK cells) decreased, resulting in severe cellular immune deficiency and the formation of AIDS. Various symptoms of AIDS occur gradually, develop slowly, and become more and more serious, such as increasing weight loss and fatigue; then various opportunistic infections and malignant tumors, or central nervous system infections occur. Patients often die from six months to one year, often due to pneumococcal pneumonia (43.8% mortality rate), Kaposi's sarcoma (21.4%), or central nervous system infection. The relationship between HIV and body immunity is quite complex. In fact, HIV not only enters T4 lymphocytes, but also other cells with CD4 receptors in the bloodstream, such as monocytes also enter various organs of the human body, including the brain, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney and other organ. There are quite a few macrophages in these organs, and they are also HIV-targeted cells. In addition to brain infections that have been shown to be HIV-related, whether the symptoms and signs of other organs are also related to HIV has not been directly proven.
