Abstract
Background. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection represents a significant global health challenge, being one of the most interesting areas of current medicine regarding immunosuppression. Objective. The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations in HIV-positive patients and to determine the outcomes after surgical treatment of these manifestations. Methods. The clinical study sample included 223 HIV-positive patients from several hospitals in Romania, collected between 2018 and 2022, who presented with ENT complications and were treated for the remission of these manifestations. Results. The most common ENT complications diagnosed in HIV patients include persistent oral candidiasis, laterocervical adenopathies, acute tonsillitis, acute and chronic rhinosinusitis, otomycosis, and acute suppurative otitis media. Conclusion. HIV-positive patients require regular follow-up by an otorhinolaryngologist. Surgical interventions for immunosuppressed patients necessitate a multidisciplinary approach.
