Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical characteristics of ear diseases in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Methods

From January 2015 to June 2019, the clinical data of 91 AIDS patients complicated with ear diseases were analyzed, retrospectively, while 150 patients with ear diseases but without AIDS were selected as the control group. The ear symptoms and signs of patients with AIDS were analyzed, and the treatment and outcome of ear diseases of AIDS patients with different CD4+ T and control group were compared, respectively.

Results

Among the 91 patients with AIDS, 34 (37.4%) cases were with acute and chronic inflammatory diseases; 44 (48.4%) cases with deafness, including 25 cases with sensorineural deafness and 9 cases with sudden deafness; 10 (11.0%) cases with ear herpes, 5 (5.5%) cases with ear tumors, including 4 cases with Kaposi’s sarcoma and 1 case with epidermic cyst; 15 (16.5%) cases with simple nerve and vestibular dysfunction, whose clinical symptoms were simple tinnitus (7 cases), vertigo (5 cases) and neuralgia (3 cases). Among the enrolled patients, 72 patients with AIDS received HAART, 78 patients received targeted treatment for ear diseases, and 3 patients did not receive any treatment. All 150 patients in conrol group received targeted treatment for ear diseases. The effective rate of ear diseases in AIDS patients with CD4+ T > 200 cells/μl was significantly higher than those of cases with CD4+ T < 200 cells/μl, with significant difference (χ2 = 7.734, P = 0.005); but without significant difference compared with the conrol group (χ2 = 0.003, P = 0.959).

Conclusions

The ear diseases of patients with AIDS were mainly inflammatory diseases with severe symptoms, easy to recur and difficult to cure. In addition to inflammation, deaf, herpes and specific diseases, such as Kaposi’s sarcoma and so on may also appear. The treatment of this kind of disease was mainly to improve the immune status of the whole body, and local symptomatic treatment was complementary.
