Recently, the young girl Xiao Cheng has some unspeakable secrets. His boyfriend, who also works for a company, recently received expatriate messages. The leader let go of the words, and when he returned from the assignment, the promotion was a nail in the coffin.
Not long after her boyfriend left, Xiao Cheng woke up and found that he had some "chicken pox" on his neck. Seeing these small herpes, she remembered that she had had chickenpox when she was a child, and it was estimated that her resistance had declined and the herpes virus had recurred.
After taking a little medicine, Xiao Cheng continued to work normally. Unexpectedly, the small blisters on the skin increased a lot. In addition, when she went to work during the day, she felt that her head was also a little dizzy, and she did not have much strength. Took a temperature in the evening and had a bit of a fever.
This time, antipyretic drugs and herpes treatment drugs are taken together, and they do not care at all. There is no way, Xiao Cheng can only go to the hospital to check it. This investigation did not matter, and the result made her collapse in an instant.
The doctor took Xiao Cheng's test report and told her that her HIV antibody test was positive!
How can this be? What conditions on the skin are signs of AIDS, rather than simple skin diseases?
In these three cases, you need to be careful about AIDS
Many AIDS patients have mentioned that they have symptoms such as rashes and chickenpox on their skin.
Some people are more alert, and if they find abnormal conditions on the skin, they will see a doctor in time. Some people mistakenly think that it is chickenpox, so they let down their vigilance and delay the earliest treatment time.
Which three abnormalities are precursors to AIDS infection?
In fact, there are three main types of skin and mucosal lesions of AIDS, mainly infectious, non-infectious lesions and tumors.
01 Infectious skin diseases
Because pathogenic microorganisms infect the skin, it is easy to cause a series of skin damage problems. Especially AIDS patients, their own immune system is relatively poor, once infected, the symptoms will be more serious.
The first is that after being infected with the herpes virus, chickenpox, shingles and so on will appear on the skin. In addition to the body, the mouth is also prone to hairy white spots, various ulcers and so on. In general, these skin symptoms tend to recur.
In addition to viral infections, it is also prone to bacterial infections. Problems such as folliculitis and abscesses are common.
02 Non-infectious skin diseases
This type of problem is a non-infectious skin disease, and the lesions appear earlier than infectious skin diseases.
For example, all kinds of dermatitis, measles, seborrheic dermatitis and other problems are non-infectious skin diseases.
This type of skin problem is very confusing. Many AIDS patients think they just have a skin disease and miss the best time for treatment.
03 Skin tumors
Healthy ordinary people, because of their own immune system, so after infection with herpes virus type 8, they will not have other symptoms.
But AIDS people are different, because of their own defective immune system, after infection with herpes virus type 8, capillaries are abnormally proliferating, and purple-red spots will appear on the skin.
Moreover, malignant skin tumors such as lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma will also come out as the immune function in the patient's body declines.
Dr.X said
Don't ignore the abnormal skin problems, think that you are just allergic, buy some ointment to wipe it. Many times, skin abnormalities are a precursor to disease, and the more immunocompromised you are, the easier it is to expose the problem. Go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination, which is true.
