| Popis: | Our purpose was to characterize the spectrum of hepatobiliary abnormalities on sonography in children with vertically transmitted HIV infection. Abdominal sonograms were performed on 41 children with HIV infection and correlated with clinical and histopathologic data. Hepatobiliary abnormalities were noted in 26 (63%) children. Hepatomegaly (n = 13) and abnormal hepatic echotexture (n = 13) were the most common abnormalities noted. Preexisting AIDS-related infections or neoplasms were noted significantly more frequently in children with hepatic or biliary abnormalities on sonography (18/26, 69%) than in children without abnormalities (5/15, 33%) (P = 0.0001). Most children with hepatobiliary abnormalities on sonography who underwent hepatic tissue sampling, however, did not have evidence of acute infection or neoplasia. Hepatobiliary abnormalities are frequently noted on sonography in children with HIV infection. Hepatomegaly and abnormal hepatic echotexture are the most frequent sonographic findings and are usually nonspecific. |
