Abstract
Experience of treatment of 8 HIV-patients with amebiasis is analyzed. Five patients with provisional diagnosis "acute appendicitis" underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, sanation and drainage of abdominal cavity. Ameboma with acute intestinal obstruction was diagnosed at 2 patients; they underwent extraperitonization of inflammatory tumor. One patient with provisional diagnosis "peritonitis" had large purulent-necrotic total process in colon; subtotal resection of colon has been performed. Extraintestinal complications of amebiasis have been also diagnosed at 6 patients in short-term postoperative period. Mini-invasive methods of surgical treatment are more preferable for HIV-patients. This approach in combination with traditional antibacterial therapy permits to reduce the rate of postoperative complications and recurrences.Entities:
